    We should all have Al Gore's carbon footprint. We should all have the same environmental impact as do the top 100 eco-doomsayers. We should all buy beachfront property that rises no higher above sea level than does Martha's Vineyard. We should all have private jets and multiple homes on different continents. Oh yeah, and yachts; we should all have yachts.

    The key to winning in 'Simon Says' is to close your eyes and only do what Simon says.
    The key to winning in real life is to close your ears and only do what they do.

    If 97% of people agree, why do they need to compel the remaining 3% of us to do what they say should be done
    before they do anything themselves ?

    If we deniers are so few, and the eco-doomsayers are so many, why don't they just do themselves ?

    The only thing that all eco-doomsayers agree on is that the solution must be compulsory. They claim that, if they can just eliminate the voluntary, they can save the world. I have personally heard preachers and politicians make the same claim.

    I'm waiting to swoop in and buy real estate for pennies on the dollar as soon as the eco-doomsayers on Martha's Vineyard start selling off ahead of sea level rise.
