Friday Funny – ‘Bin Day’

When something isn’t useful anymore, it is usually ready for the trash bin.

Webster’s Dictionary defines trash as:

Tossing into the bin – at least that’s what normal people do. If you are a politician or green crusader, you may keep things well past their expiration date until they start stinking up the place.

Josh has his take on it.

Like his work? buy him a pint.

Great cartoon by Josh!

But it invites this question: Does the UK participate in the buying and selling of “carbon credits”?

If so, another garbage container is needed . . . but in that case it should be the size of a dumpster bin, not a small curb-side container.

Unfortunately we do have that carbon credit abomination in the UK, worth around $116 billion so far. At the present time, few (if any) new trees have been planted, some have been planted in entirely the wrong places and have not survived, and of our existing trees most appear to have been traded 4 or 5 times each. It’s a good game for a completely cynical con artist.

Millions more have been hacked down and replaced with unreliable wind and solar

Brilliant but where do we put the Guardian?

Don’t buy it. Other than the BBC (as its in house rag) nobody else does.

No, no – I don’t want to buy it, I just want to know which bin we put the entire crappy company into?

Well, if you somehow get saddled with the GroanAid, there is always the smallest room.

It is of little practical use there, as it is already saturated with the very material you are desirous to eliminate.

Here we bury the vegetable scraps. The Earth worms love the it and fertilize the garden and the yard with their castings. The animals only get the meat and milk products.

If a politician flaps his gums in Parliament does it cause a tropical storm in Mexico?

James Randi used to have a word for quackery, “woo-woo” and that is a good term for many things such as climate change alarmism.

That link just doesn’t want to co-operate.
As an aside, I was going to say it’s a London thing, but if Labour get in it’ll be a UK thing and if New York get their way it’ll soon be a US thing as well. Oh well, there goes the neighbourhood!

We get BBC overnight here from midnight on local time. Sometimes I listen in if sleep won’t come. Mostly forgettable stories and climate fear mongering. What’s with the musical teletype at the half hour that goes on and on for no purpose? I turn it off at that point.
