I still prefer the term, "leaf people." But you have to wonder why anyone would try to maintain a "think tank" operation without a Logic & Reasoning Dept. to point out things like this. Good show, Jon. “Ecofreaks?” I still prefer the term, “leaf people.”

Good show, Jon.

It looks like somebody just had fun with Photoshop and scribbled a bunch of white on a map of the US. The other two videos I find particularly hilarious. "We call it life." Plants breathe carbon dioxide so it's OK that there's an overabundance....I guess they chose to leave out scenes of forest cutting and burning that "light up our lives." Anyway, there's the "Inconvenient Truth" perspective and there will always be opposition. Still, if you look through the bios of the staff at CEI you will find many backgrounds in economics....free enterprise....well, it all seems to add up to dollars and cents, and more dollars. No matter what, I don't see the harm in having your local mob of soccer moms and rustic father figures trade in their SUVs and Dodge extended cabs for something a little more efficient. If you have one kid and one soccer ball, you don't need a Range Rover. If you moved that one birch stump from your front lawn last season, you don't need to maintain a 6mile/gallon fire engine red oversized pickup. But hey, that's just my opinion. Well, I'm gonna go makeout with an oak tree now...or whatever it is we "ecofreaks" do. Was that carbon dioxide graphic in the Inconvenient Story short pasted in from a video game?
