Monday’s Column: Save The Planet, Win A Prize

Today’s column at WorldNetDaily deals with Sir Richard Branson’s $25 million prize offer for the “scientist” who can find a way to extract greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

What could possibly go wrong? I discuss this and offer a few of my own ideas in “Save the planet, win a prize.”

Update:

I just got this email from a guy with the last name “Annis” (pronounced “Ay-nuss”):

Dear Mr. Powers:

Thank you for your interest in our “Save the Planet” contest. I regret
to inform you that we must reject your entries.

Contest rules specify that the prize is to be awarded for technologies
which EXTRACT carbon from the atmosphere. Your suggestions only limit
further carbon dioxide emissions INTO the atmosphere.

It is unfortunate that you have the reading comprehension of a 7-year
old.

You may submit another entry after the 90-day waiting period if you so
desire.

Sincerely,

Prize committee
Save the Planet Contest

I’m heart broken.

You’ll not be surprised to learn that this work of over-analysis of the somewhat satirical came from a State of Oregon employee, judging from the email address. Your tax dollars are hard at work.
