Al Gore Encourages Civil Disobedience
http://icecap.us/
By Oliver Burkeman, UK Guardian
So Al Gore wants to so global warming civil disobedience.
GOOD!
We can blame him for the wave of actions that I predict we will be seeing to give the climate Stalinists a dose of their own medicine.
I have heard "climate skeptics" and "global warming deniers" suggest, among other things, the following "actions".
It is now, or soon will be, federal law for consumers to use low energy consuming light bulbs containing toxic mercury.
If ONE of those bulbs is broken, toxic mercury is released into the environment, and special, extensive clean up procedures are required.
If multiple bulbs are broken, a hazardous materials clean up team is required, and if it happens in the home, it is the home owner's responsibility to pay for the clean up. If the mercury contaminated a carpeted area, the clean up procedures require the carpet to be removed and disposed of (i.e. buried at a EPA approved hazardous waste disposal site.) Not surprisingly, clean up of multiple broken light bulbs can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Expect the following to happen on an "Earth Day" in the not too distant future.
Oridinary citizens carrying small brown paper bags containing two or three mercury light bulbs will casually drift into the lobby of City Hall, or a similar busy government building. The ciizens will lounge in the waiting area for a few minutes, sip their starbucks coffee, read the newspaper, and then get up and leave. Their paper bags will be left behind.
After awhile, custodial staff will discover that the lobby or the waiting area is littered with dozens of broken, mercury containing light bulbs.
The building is OFFICIALLY a hazardous material disaster area and MUST BE closed down. Hazmat teams will have to called in to clean up the area.
It is inevitible that this type of protest will one day occur, and when it does it will be copied and replicated at dozens, then hundreds of public buildings and government sites.
The government will respond FIRST by making it a crime to carry a mercury light bulb into a government building. When this fails to stop the wave of actions, the government will then relax the rules and say that a hundred broken mercury light bulbs are only a "minor" event, and can be cleaned up by a janitor with a plastic trash bag and rubber gloves.
This is not "conspiricy" or a "plan" it is simply an observation on inevitable, predictable human behavior.
