Important! Alert Level Code Green!

Code Green
This is not a test! This is a real emergency of the Code Green system.
That’s right, NBC Universal is celebrating going green for the week of Nov. 4-11th. All the programing will have a green theme and they will be running public announcements about how to be more green friendly. I first noticed it during the Sunday Night Football pre-game when Bob Costas cut to Matt Lauer who was somewhere in the “Arctic” to witness the effects of global warming. I wonder if he flew on a plane to get there? Individual NBC shows will each have their own little hint at being green. Whether its a “Green” wedding on “Days of Our Lives” or supporting an eco-rally on “Chuck”.
It’s amazing that NBC News (part of NBC Universal) claims to be an objective measure of news and political events for our country, yet they have blatantly taken a side in an ongoing political and scientific debate. Not that their side-taking surprises me, I knew they were liberal. But it’s the very idea that they think they can convince people that their still objective and yet make outrageous claims of fact about an issue that has respected scientists pitted against it.
During the NFL Sunday Night pre-game, Bob Costas showed an image of the United States at night with all the of glow from lights that were on, and as he turned out the lights of the television studio urged Americans to turn out their lights as well to save our planet the cost of energy. I hope that people listen to Bob Costas and turn off the glow of their televisions and avoid listening to the propaganda that NBC is trying to force people to watch this week.
Now that I’m done writing this I think I’m going to go drive around in my car for awhile until the feeling of green has left me.

Like the term “warm-monger” (we need more yellow, less green):

is this really happening, global warming i mean all the scientist are saying its happening but there the wrong kind of scientist, on the other hand the weather scientist are saying its not happening, is it or not?
Argonaut, those are some great links showing just how one sided the issue is being treated by the mainstream. I hope you don’t mind if I use them in future posts.
Jared, I’ll try to prepare a more in depth post on global warming to hopefully clear up the confussion.
