Happy Earth Day? REPOST

Today is Earth Day. The day we are suppose to remember the planet we live on and help clean it up. Earth Day is a made-up holiday started by some Hippies back in the 1970's as the birthday of the environmental movement.

I don't celebrate Earth Day. I don't need a day to celebrate the world. I celebrate Arbor Day. It is the United States' original Earth Day. Arbor Day this year is Friday, April 26.

What is Arbor Day you ask? I'll be glad to tell you.

The History of Arbor Day
 The idea for Arbor Day originally came from Nebraska. A visit to Nebraska today wouldn't disclose that the state was once a treeless plain. Yet it was the lack of trees there that led to the founding of Arbor Day in the 1800s.

Among pioneers moving into the Nebraska Territory in 1854 was J. Sterling Morton from Detroit. He and his wife were lovers of nature, and the home they established in Nebraska was quickly planted with trees, shrubs and flowers.N

On January 4, 1872, Morton first proposed a tree-planting holiday to be called “Arbor Day” at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. The date was set for April 10, 1872. Prizes were offered to counties and individuals for planting properly the largest number of trees on that day. It was estimated that more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day.

Arbor Day is celebrated all over the world. What started in Nebraska in 1872 is celebrated by the following countries:
Australia, Brazil, Barbados, Bulgaria, Canada, China, The Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands, Germany, Guam, Holland, Iceland, India, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Malta, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, Philippines, St. Maarten, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Togo, Tunisia, United Kingdom.

As a child my school in Brooklyn planted a tree each year. We had an assembly, special presentations about trees and the planet, and a special ceremony to plant the tree. Without the hoopla and commercialism of Earth Day. I still remember those occasions with joy and a few tears. Today's children won't have such fond memories. They will be lectured to on how they are destroying the planet. How they have to sacrifice their lifestyle to Save the Earth. A pity. A simple tree planting ceremony has more power than any lecturer could.

I ask you. On April 26 won't you plant a tree? Keep an American Tradition alive. A tree makes your property look good, brings up your property's value, helps to clean the air, and yes, it is huggable.

Earth Day!

It is Earth Day. That asinine device the left has invented to assert the assumption that the Human Race (Specifically those Humans with White skin and whose ancestry is from the Continent of Europe.) is the sole cause of all extinctions that have ever been or will ever happen to the animal life on  the planet.

It is all rubbish!  But while spoil a good story.

So this Earth Day I plan to:

Cut down a tree or two!

Have a bite to eat!

And even take out the trash, cleaning up the world a bit!

As you can see, I do know how to celebrate this idiotic occasion.

I will be doing some serious celebrating on Friday, April 30, when I celebrate Arbor Day.  Then I will plant a tree!  But NOT today!

The Planet Is Fine, We're F*@ked!

There is nothing wrong with the Planet Earth.  Unless a huge meteor is to hit the Earth or the Large Hadron Collider has actually created an Black Hole, the Earth is  NOT going to end!

That is the real truth!  While the climate is changing, in light of recent revelations concerning the facts behind Global Warming,

More than 1,700 scientists in Britain agree to sign a statement defending the "integrity and honesty" of global warming research, but at least one alleges he felt pressured to do so.

Britain's Met Office has embarked on an urgent exercise to bolster the reputation of climate-change science after the furor over leaked e-mails, referred to as "Climate-gate."

More than 1,700 scientists have agreed to sign a statement defending the "professional integrity" of global warming research. They were responding to a round-robin request from the Met Office, which has spent four days collecting signatures. The initiative is a sign of how worried it is that e-mails stolen from the University of East Anglia are fueling skepticism about man-made global warming at a critical moment in talks on carbon emissions.

One scientist said that he felt under pressure to sign the circular or risk losing work. The Met Office admitted that many of the signatories did not work on climate change.

John Hirst, the Met Office chief executive, and Julia Slingo, its chief scientist, wrote to 70 colleagues on Sunday asking them to sign "to defend our profession against this unprecedented attack to discredit us and the science of climate change." They asked them to forward the petition to colleagues to generate support "for a simple statement that we ... have the utmost confidence in the science base that underpins the evidence for global warming."

Met Office reports on temperature changes draw on the work of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, from which the e-mails were hacked. Phil Jones, unit director, has agreed to stand down while an investigation takes place into claims that he manipulated data to exaggerate the warming trend and tried to block publication of alternative views.

At Copenhagen the delegates to the Global Warming Climate Change Convention could make do with buses, bicycles, walking and car pooling would send the right message.  Instead there are 1,400 limos (many had to be imported from other European nations) and the delegates came in 140 private jets (I take it that flying coach is out).  So much for Carbon Emissions and Cap & Trade.  Not when one can be treated to such luxury.

No the planet is going to do well, with or without us.  We people, now that is another story.  When the idiots on the left Moonbats cry the Earth is in danger, they really don't give a rat's ass about the Earth.  Only about themselves and their personal habitat.  Otherwise why would the liberals in Martha's Vineyard be protesting a wind farm off the coast that they really can't see?  The one the Late Sen Edward Kennedy (D Mass) tried to get stopped.  I guess that liberal values will always get upstaged by property values.  The all mighty dollar is always more important than an liberal's ideals.  I guess that is why they live in segregated neighborhoods in which Blacks and Hispanics very seldom live in (the only time you will see either is if they are the gardner, housekeeper or maid), but these same liberals will force desegregation on the poor and Middle Class in the hope of "Bettering America".  There is a word that best describes them:  HYPOCRITE!

Actually I cannot write about Copenhagen as well as what the late George Carlin said on this subject years ago.

REPOST: Happy Earth Day?

A posting from last year. On this Earth Day, I will again be vocal about this holiday.

Today is Earth Day. The day we are suppose to remember the planet we live on and help clean it up. Earth Day is a made-up holiday started by some Hippies back in the 1970's as the birthday of the environmental movement.

I don't celebrate Earth Day. I don't need a day to celebrate the world. I celebrate Arbor Day. It is the United States' original Earth Day. Arbor Day this year is April 25, 2008.

What is Arbor Day you ask? I'll be glad to tell you.

ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION

This year Arbor Day will be celebrated on April 24. This is the perfect time of the year to plant a tree. Won't you do your part to beautify your neighborhood? The trees planted will do much to clean the air, bring shade to your home and provide a nesting site for birds and squirrels.

Won't you help this little one find a home?

Plant a tree!
