When did carbon dioxide become a pollutant? Plants breath it in and breath out oxygen. We breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. It's a perfect symbiosis, brought about by the totally random effects of the Big Bang. No intelligent design there.As reported this week by the Jerusalem Post, a group of Israeli environmental extremists calling themselves the "Green Hanukkia" campaign is sanctimoniously instructing Jews across the world to light one fewer candle in their Hanukkah menorahs this year in order to slow global warming.
According to the campaign's founders, each menorah candle can produce - hold your breath - a mind-boggling 15 grams of carbon dioxide. Multiplying this amount by the estimated 44 million candles that Israeli households will light during the eight-day Hanukkah holiday, they assert that "it adds up."
Stern lectures for the logically-challenged. Others have opinions, I have convictions.

Global Warming, It's the Jews' Fault
Hey, we can beat this global warming thing. All we have to do is burn fewer Hanukkah candles!

Sorry guys! I try not to pollute unnecessarily, but I'll have all my candles burning by the eighth crazy day ;-)
At this point don't these people find THEMSELVES annoying as we do?
