Greg Nickels, the mayor of Seattle, having decided that only his city has the power to placate Blessed Gaia and Save the Planet™, has turned his baleful eye via the Park Department upon another global warming threat; beach bonfires.This is rather on a par with a recent comment that there is no point in New Zealand meeting its Kyoto targets because if the entire country sank into the sea the effect this would have on the climate would be precisely zero. So it is in Mr. Nickel's own little world. Seattle gets almost all of its power from hydroelectric plants and the largest local carbon emitter is a cement works, so the city is about as "green" as you can get already, however Mr. Nickels has never heard of the law of diminishing returns or that Seattle is a city rather than a nation the size of China, which means that his efforts are on a par with Seattle being a suburb of Christchurch going beneath the waves. In this equation, beach fires rate somewhere around rotting seaweed in CO2 production.
Standby for this sort of logic being taken to its conclusion when the sale of cabbage is banned to cut down on farting.

Earth-caring Seattle citizens should set the example and ban all CO2 emissions.
I think that banning bonfires in Seattle is a great idea since the liberals in that state get a dose of their own medicine concerning the global warming fraud. Next, I hope they outlaw (or severely increase taxes on ) cars in Washington state. It would serve the citizens right. Ha ha ha!! I just love it when the liberal and refuted idea of man-made global warming, which was designed to destroy capitalism and take away citizens' rights, BACKFIRES and takes away their rights!!!
Let's also shut down the space program!!! Did you see all the pollution that the space shuttle made on takeoff the other day!!! Shut'er down!!!!
Also, the Seattle Mariners and the Seattle Seahawks must be REALLY causing global warming with the airplane-driven travel schedule. Shut'em down!!!! No more sports teams!!!
Let's make Seattle TOTALLY CO2 free !!! Okay, Seattle liberals let's take your global-warming ideas seriously. I want those iron fire pits OFF that beach now. Let's all wear a silver ribbon until the Seattle fire pits are gone. Yeeeehhhh!!!
Waaaah! Waaaaaah! I'll a big, scared baby liberal tree-hugger, and I want to sit by my itty-bitty campfire on the Seattle beach so I can see all the pretty waves and fishes swim by. I always only use fallen (never cut with Mr. Chainsaw) already dead branches to make my fire. Oh, pleeeasse, please, don't take away Mr. Flame and Ms. Bonfire from by beach. I'm so sad because my elected liberal facist city council now wants to take away my bonfire instead of trying to put Mr. Bad Corporation out of business. I'm good!!! So good, I even recycle my Mr. Stinky baby diapers....And the nightmare begins in police city of Seattle....as the last scroll of liberty was destroyed, an old dying English citizen (who was denied Avastin for her brain tumor, as Kennedy got) whispered, "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, as per The New York Times, "Every week to 10 days, another coal-fired power plant opens somewhere in China that is big enough to serve all the households in Dallas or San Diego."
