Exactly. That's what I love about Carlin. He attacked everyone. Before this segment, he mostly attacked war and the rich, and the white bourgeois liberals cheered him on, loud and proud. But when he attacked environmentalism, they weren't so loud and proud all of a sudden.

They are all getting schooled, that's why the silence.

Self interest installed into environmentalism while sounding as if he is in disagreement with the idea. A true genius built right into a comedian. And like most geniuses as can be seen in some of the comments below, misunderstood. thecollapsingpoet.blogspot.

Remember kids, recycling that can of Coke won't save the rainforest.

Yep, and this after getting caught constantly "adjusting" past temperatures downward. The fact is CO2 effect on temprature is probably a negative feedback loops which means doubling the amount of CO2 in the air causes a rise in temperature less than 1 degree C not the 5 or 6 Greens want to claim.
