Google searches and Google's fastest response times to your search requests are now the subject of making you feel guilty for using search queries. 
This was just too good ridiculous to pass up!
SIDEBAR: I just posted some great Active Rain and SEO tutorials so just skip this post is you don't like my political views and satire. I am NOT politically correct and don't ever plan to be. You can come back tomorrow to find some more posts to help you in your business and blogging. But this is my rant for the week.
I just read this post over on Redstates contributor Jeff Emanuel - This is just TOOO Much!!!!
You can read the source article from TimesOnline to verify that I am NOT making this up! In fact, it is just too far fetched for me to make this up!
A Harvard Physicist by the name of Alex Wissner- Gross said that by any of us performing just 2 Google searches is equivalent to boiling water for a cup of tea. He further states that Google is not considering their carbon footprint by bringing back the search results in the fastest amount of time which of course if one of Google's great claims to fame and we all know this because we love how fast Google is.
SO now Google is bad according to environmentalists because Google prides themselves in speed of delivery.
What about all the time that we save by having the searches come back fast? If I work faster I am more efficient. Or are we going to be forced back to candlelight, horse and buggies and dial up slow motion searches because we are too stupid to save ourselves.
Now, let me tell you this is yet another future infringement on our rights and freedoms. Can you just imagine having big brother count how many google searches you do and then charge you for it. No, better yet, you can buy some carbon offsets in Al Gore's company. Remember that there is actually legislation on the table in California where Big Brother wants to set your thermostat for you! You won't be able to choose the temperature unless of course it is higher not lower.
Or maybe Karma is good and the attorneys will get together and file a class action law suit against Al Gore because he invented the internet so it is all his fault because he started this whole thing!
Or maybe like Jeff says in his post, we need to all give our tithes to Algore with blank checks so he can just fill in what he thinks your carbon footprint should be penalized with.
Jeff says: "Make sure the next time you run a Google search (or a hundred of them), you face the East, beg forgiveness from Gaia, and offer Algore a tithe of at least half your salary to offset the damage you’re doing to this planet."
Or maybe this is the setup to start charging us all big bucks to use the internet. Then poor people would not be able to use the internet.
Nothing like the guilt trip perpetuating to the point of why don't we just pull our own plugs and be done with it!
Oh and check out in the article about how they also want to control what you get to say on Twitter! Hmmm, who is going to decide for you whether your Tweet is worthy of carbons or not!??! Who will be the judge and at what point is it no longer a constitutional right of free speech? While I don't use Twitter to talk about what I eat for dinner I have no business to tell another person that they can not do that!
"Such internet phenomena are not simply fun and hot air, Newcombe warns: the boom in such services has a carbon cost."
I wonder what happens to people who can not afford to pay for their horrid damage they are making on this planet? It is a scary thought of what could become of them. I saw this scary carbon footprint game that was made for kids in schools and the kids were made to feel as if they were beneath contempt if they breathe too many breaths. Like each breathe they take causes damage to the planet.
Let me set the record straight. I think it is great that we all conserve energy and don't throw our garbage out in the streets. I believe in being respectful to our earth and love and take care of it. But I also know that God who knows everything is smart enough to have safeguards put in place to keep his earth that he created from being totally destroyed.
I know that the global warming has 2 sides to it. I do not believe that it is the end all. I don 't believe that we have to live like cave men in order to protect our planet. I also believe in conspiracies and this is one that outdoes them all! This is a total set up for a one world government and world courts. Just follow the money! That is all you ever have to do. Global warming and climate change, whatever you want to call is all about the money and the power.
Individual freedoms and liberty are at peril.
You have my permission to reblog and pass along.
I will stop my rant by quoting a great comment by Kenneth L. Solomon on Jeff's blog that reads:
He also suggests to go over to the Timesonline article and write a piffy comment!
"I’m going to set my computer on an automatic random Google search and let it fly while I go out and boil up some water to fill my swimming pool with hot tea.”
;)

Okay - I have a good friend who is concerned about the environment. Who isn't? But, their family carries it to an extreme. I found it amusing because they were the first to go to bottle watered only to learn that it added to the carbon footprint. I have passed this along to him because it is frankly funny and alarming at the same time. I enjoyed the satire. Just curious, what grant paid for the study?
