Let’s save this planet. It’ll be fun. Really.

From Bob Park’s What’s New :

UNCOOL: LOT OF HEAT FROM GLOBAL-WARMING DENIERS.
Suppose, I asked myself, that the deniers are right and the CO2 thing is a mistake? What will happen if the world takes the CO2 thing seriously, adopting common sense measures to counter anthropogenic warming and there never was any warming in the first place? 1) there will more non-renewable resources to leave to our progeny; 2) we will breath cleaner air and see the stars again, the way we saw them half a century ago; 3) we could stop paving over the planet, and 4) cut down on the number of billionaires. If we’re wrong we could have a party. We could have a party either way.

See, it’s not so bad, is it? Really, we’ll be OK if we get started on this right away, and we might even make money and invent some cool shit in the process.

Saving the environment is a reasonable, obvious thing to do, even if Stephen Harper thinks it’s a communist plot to destroy the economy of oil-producing nations.
