Thank you, CO2! Now, I don't have to wear a sweater.

Wow. It's a good thing this is a blog and not a radio show because I'm speechless. This ad campaign has me absolutely dumbfounded this morning. In addition to arguing that global warming isn't happening, which is the standard approach of Kyoto-offenders like GM and Exxon Mobil, the first of these two spots funded by said corporations is ostensibly saying the more CO2 the better. "Hey, let's get excited about global warming. Don't you want to wear your bathing suit year-round and have leathery-brown skin and live with the threat of catastrophic hurricanes in Manhattan?" It has to be a joke, right? I'm afraid not.

By the way, this campaign is strategically timed to coincide with the opening of Al Gore's new movie An Inconvenient Truth, which I encourage everyone to see when it opens next Wednesday. Don't worry, it won't be cold in the theatre like it used to be before fabulous global warming.
