![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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. - Environmentalists treat Jeremy Clarkson's lawn to steaming pile of manure — Autoblog HA HA

![]() | ![]() Is there any information about Clarkson's reaction, when he took notice of the dungheap in front of his estate? Regards Andreas |

This is so typical of environmentalists, all action, but no solution.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | 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 .....
