British Global Warming Fanatics Outraged 2012 Olympic Torch Isn’t “Low-Carbon”…
They should have made it in the shape of a smokestack just to piss off the greenies.
(The Australian) — BLIZZARDS, hailstorms and hurricanes: the 2012 Olympic torch has been designed to weather anything a typical British summer can throw at it. Yet despite the ambitions of designers and the event sponsors, EDF Energy, attempts to create the world’s first low-carbon “green” Olympic flame have failed.
The gold, baton-shaped torch is 80cm long and weighs 800g, so it is light enough for the youngest runner taking part in the 70-day relay. Each bearer will start with a fresh torch lit from the Olympic flame and will be able to buy it as a souvenir. Mr Playfoot still has his torch which, he said, burnt like a blowtorch powered by naphtha.
The relay will begin at Land’s End on May 19 and the torch will be carried to every corner of Britain, including the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland and the Outer Hebrides.
However, the failure of designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby to produce a low-carbon torch was criticised. “We tried really hard to do that. We were very close, but we just ran out of time,” Mr Barber said.
The Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 said that was a poor excuse. “The promise of a low-carbon torch was made in 2007 and so the excuse of ‘we ran out of time’ is not acceptable,” chairman Shaun McCarthy said.

It should have been a nuclear torch.
I have greenies all around me I live in an Uber Leftist neighborhood. I have always wanted to get a riding mower and have an oil injection system directly into the head. That way I could control the amount of blue smoke that would be projected from the exhaust.
I could put a Mexican flag on it and stencil “Juan Deere” on the side. Paint it Purple with a nice loud Mexican Aqua and curb feelers.
When I was growing up, My Father had a 62 Pontiac with curb feelers on it. My brother and I called it the Super Mex.
I wish someone would pull the plug on England and let it sink beneath the North sea.
When you have a “Conservative” government as slime green as this one, what hope is there?
I am so glad that I know Jesus and am almost seventy, this world is going nuts!!
I can’t say anything else or I will start swearing.
This is a good one.
Climate Changes but not the way the MSM tells you!

excerpt (written to Globull Warming believers):
“The volcanic eruption in Iceland , since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet–all of you….And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time – EVERY DAY.
I don’t really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its YEARS on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year–think about it.”
Well… let’s shove a hose up his ass and burn methane. Ya spose that would make him happy?
These guys need to get a life.
We should throw up coal plants just to spite these assholes.
Idiots all. What do they expect – an LED in each torch with a battery that passes from torch to torch?
But what about the torch runners?!?
They will be exhaling co2 non-stop!
End the insanity the world is melting!
Moron environmentalists.
Simple solution. Shove a stick up a greenies *ss & light them.
Because of this, I will, tonight, wrap a tree in cellophane dripping in diesel gasoline and burn it.
Inject a little copper into the flame. That will make it “burn green”. Idiots!
The 2012 Olympic Stadium is being built about 1/4 of a mile from a sewage treatment plant. During the Opening Ceremony when the athletes get a whiff of that stink, they may not stay around to compete.
Effing morons.
And dip it in bacon grease to piss off the muzzies too.
