Talking Environmentalists treat Jeremy Clarkson's lawn to steaming pile of manure



There are many things Top Gear front-man Jeremy Clarkson could be labeled as. Celebrity? Check. Petrolhead? Check. Environmentalist? Um, no. Whenever Clarkson has gotten the chance to get some seat time in what might be construed as an eco-friendly automobile, he always seems to find plenty not to like... and that goes for the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and even the Tesla Roadster.

Climate Rush, the same group that's vehemently opposed to the expansion of London's Heathrow airport, decided to let Clarkson know exactly how they feel about his carbon-spewing ways. According to the BBC, six women showed up at Clarkson's mansion in Oxfordshire in a horse-drawn carriage with a wheelbarrow's worth of manure, which was then dumped on the entertainer's front lawn.

Reports indicate that Clarkson was not home at the time of the dung dump and by the time police showed up the protesters had left the scene, though their stinky gift apparently remained for all to see.

In my opinion Clarkson is hero, despite not always using the best examples to prove his points. But the fact that he stands up to the evironmentalists and so without fear is grand.

Is there any information about Clarkson's reaction, when he took notice of the dungheap in front of his estate?
Regards

Andreas

I'm hoping for loads and loads of (more) making fun of environmental fundamentalists.

I am not sure if those environmentalists know what they are doing, manure releases a lot of methane gas, which contributes to green house emissions, also why don't they use these manure as fertilisers so they can plant more trees? This is so typical of environmentalists, all action, but no solution.

If they had brains then they wouldn't just be going after cars and car guys; they should be going after major corporations who pollute WAY more. Of course, they're all sheep so will only stand up for stuff they heard or saw rather than reading a F__king scientific analysis on the matter.

I did a report on the ecoterrorists Cap and Trade bill. The bill basically just limits the amount of CO2 produced by US companies.

We all know CO2 is an evil evil gas and that everything that produces it should be killed. But this bill is just plain crap (for several reasons).
Green House Gases: water vapor, CO2, methane and ozone are the big four.
Water vapor accounts for ~50-76%, CO2 9-26%, Methane and ozone 3-5% each or so.

So if the ecoterrorist want to stop "global warming" they would better off draining the oceans.

Honestly it's horrible to do that and for such a silly reason.

On the other hand, I don't care for Clarkson so it's fine with me. He likes to joke about stupid things in his journalism so now the joke is on him. I just wish he was the one cleaning it up though. I'm sure he will hire someone for removal with his lazy .....
