CO2 Isn’t Good for You…It’s GREAT!!! (cartoon)

Mean Joe Green #75: CO2 Isn’t Good for You…It’s GREAT!!!

It’s true! According to the very intelligent folks at CO2isgreen, who have direct ties to Oil and Coal industry big wigs, more CO2 is better for us!

The Oil and Coal industries both have unlimited amounts of money, the bulk of which–I am certain–goes to research and development to make this world a better, cleaner place. So if they start a campaign called CO2isgreen with ads stating well-researched facts such as, “Higher CO2 levels than we have today would help the earth’s ecosystems…” and “more CO2 results in a ‘greener’ earth.” then, doggummit, I believe them (and I’m sure Bill McKibben does as well)!

Scroll down please. This cartoon is two panels, one on top of the other.

Mean Joe Green #72: Hunger Strike for Coal and Oil

Given the recent track record of Bonner and Associates (fake letter writing, fake health care opponents, phony “FACES” of Coal…) this tactic may very well be next.

Mean Joe Green #51: The New Face of the Energy Industry Fat Cats

Originally posted on RedGreenandBlue.org on 2/13/09

The times are-a-changing. On the way out are the days of big oil and coal fat cats running ruining the energy policy of our great nation.

Putting profit above all else, these clowns have dirtied our nation’s air and water and have stood in the way of energy and fuel-related progress for decades.

With $62.2 billion in the latest version of the Economic Stimulus Package going to environmental initiatives, said fat cats will surely live a comfortable existence as they ease into their “golden years”, but the new energy czars will be leading the way deriving energy and fuel from such sources as; wind, solar, waves, algae, cellulosic ethanol, and much more…

…Leading our great nation to a clean, energy independent future!

8 years of inaction on global warming 8 years of environmental devastation.

When you spend two terms refuting facts from the world’s top scientists and environmentalists and allow the oil industry to call all the shots in regards to the nation’s energy plan you end up with horrible solutions to huge problems…
