A worldwide movement backed by big name celebrities like Leonardo Di Caprio, Orlando Bloom, Pink, The Killers and Josh Hartnett kicked off in London yesterday with the stated goal of beating global warming. Global Cool launched in London and LA and is calling on one billion people to reduce their carbon emissions by one ton a year for the next 10 years. Global Cool claims the climatic tipping point - when the climate becomes irreversibly damaged - can be turned back if global CO2 emissions are reduced by one billion tons a year. Some tips to get started:
Don’t drive: “Walk, go by horse, run, rollerskate, take a coach, bus or train.”
Don’t bathe: they recommend showers, “If you really must take a bath, save energy and share it with a really dirty friend.”
Don’t fly: “Hey hotshot, do you really need to fly to that meeting?”
Oddly enough, Josh Hartnett was at the London press conference. I can only assume he tunneled there. Josh says:
“If water levels continue to rise at this rate, my house in New York will be underwater, and I’ll have to get a gondola to get around. It’s frightening … I grew up in Minnesota which is usually a cold place, but we’ve seen abnormally warm winters the last couple of years, which is unnerving.
And if the earth was 50 years old, that might mean something. All it really does is demand this quote from Matt Stone: "Actors and actresses are the worst, because they're just fucking monkeys. Half the people in this country could do what they do but for some reason they think their opinion matters." Granted, rolling around in the mud and living in some third world nightmare where alien like diseases are the number one export and "ham" on a menu is simply a space saving way to write "hamster" does sound pretty great, but I’m gonna have to think about it. Do some reading. And maybe Josh could do some reading as well. Maybe on video conferencing, for example.
Here’s the thing - F Josh Hartnett and all his “Global Warming is man’s doing” friends. The earth heats up, it cools down, life goes on. I have forgotten what we did to cause the last ice age - can anyone help me out there?
I guess this is what you do when you don’t have movie roles.
Dammit! I wasted a perfectly good opportunity to yell “First!” I guess most of you are still searching for pics of Paris’ vagina, as if we haven’t all seen it already.
Paris vagina!?!? where? I’ve looking all ov… oh, wait, I get it.
Harnett can go bathe with Leo and Orlando, ride Seabiscuit to their meeting, and heat their huts with aardvark feces for all I care.
Only complete morons and retards care if they get the first post as for the article goes. Maybe I’ll start farting the 10 to 15 times a day I do but you won’t catch me walking or riding my bicycle when its negative 10 outside.
The Earth does heat up and cool down every so many years its consistent but if you do some research you can easily see that we as a human race have drastically changed that pattern. Ignorance is bliss. Now where are those vagina pictures.
speaking of morons and retards: are we to understand that riding horses is good for the environment? when did that happen? do these assholes realize that the herds of cattle bred to feed america’s carnivorous greed are one of the largest producers of methane gas in the world- a greenhouse gas? and last time i checked horse shit and horse carcasses were carbon-based. what a bunch of fucking retards. they should just go eat tainted food at a rainbow gathering and die of dysentery in the shit pit.
Do I really need to fly to that meeting? Umm…if they expect me to spend more time working than traveling. but then again, these might just be silly corporate stuff.
I’m gonna do nothing. The quicker we ruin the planet the quicker Paris and Lilo die. Fuck it I’m gonna run a bath and not bathe.
I wonder how they got to that meeting.
Oh damn. I fucked up my own joke. Oh well, I shall not make an attempt to recover. I shall just stick on the idiot hat and shame myself in the corner.
I’m sure Hartnett paddled his way there.
I’m pretty sure that that Global Cool logo is the new symbol for gay pride. I heard they did away with the whole rainbow thing.
I try to use as much energy as possible everyday. I keep hearing about how it comes from “limited resources” and I’ll be damned if I don’t get my share before it runs out!
This is one of those posts that I read the first two lines of and then skip to the comments section to greet my fellow Durdenites. Hey Willie Beamin, loved you in Any Given Sunday. So I gotta ask, Bears or Colts?

Damn, my coach is in the shop. I guess I’ll get started saving the planet later.
I hear Josh promises to cream pie every man, woman and child who reduces their carbon emissions.
how’s that for saving the environment?
Does anybody here think that this calls for a live action version of Captain Planet and the Planeteers? Josh Hartnett can play Captain Planet and the geeky actor guys (Di Caprio and Bloom) can play the planeteers. I think we’ve got a good start here guys. Let’s all put our heads together and write a script, we can all be rich.
