More Global Warming Propaganda: Violent Children's Cartoon Quiz Suggests When Child Should Die

The quiz was put out by the state-sponsored Australian broadcasting channel and lets you calculate when you have "used more than your fair share of Earth's resources", at which point, it suggests, you should die.

Two observations:

One, it would seem obvious that such global warming alarmists as Al Gore, John Travolta, and Mariah Carey should have "died" by now, according to the calculator. Scroll towards the bottom of this article.

Two, there are actually less grazing animals on the planet than before America was fully colonized. (Think, for instance, of the number of buffalo killed.) To blame global warming on meat consumption, as does the quiz, is nonsense. Even if grazing animals were to contribute to global warming, they would be contributing less now than they had before the conquest of America. By this reasoning, "environmentalists" should be praising the past slaughter of the buffalo.
