The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Climate Change Quiz

When asked "Do we have time to ...... save ourselves from climate change?"

This person answered: "
Not a hope in hell. Most of the "green" stuff is verging on a gigantic scam. Carbon trading, with its huge government subsidies, is just what finance and industry wanted. It's not going to do a damn thing about climate change, but it'll make a lot of money for a lot of people and postpone the moment of reckoning. I am not against renewable energy, but to spoil all the decent countryside in the UK with wind farms is driving me mad. It's absolutely unnecessary, and it takes 2500 square kilometres to produce a gigawatt - that's an awful lot of countryside."
.
Who was the person?
  • Prince Charles
  • Al Gore
  • James Lovelock
Correct answer: Lovelock. This is the guy who invented the Gaia theory and saved us from atmospheric chlorofluorocarbons. If you worship Gaia, thank Lovelock for creating the theory that grew into a modern religion.

Dear James,
Are you saying that the "most reverend"/all holy prophet, Al Gore is perpetuating a scam upon the gullible world and that he is making millions of both dollars and self-esteem points on the gullibility of his global warming flock? Say it isn't so, James?
