CMI releases completely moronic advert about carrots and oil both involving … hydrocarbons.

A new campaign by an Australian climate organisation has raised eyebrows, with an…. ‘interesting’ … argument that because vegetables and fossil fuels both contain the element carbon, then fossil fuels are part of your healthy five a day. Or something.

The Completely Moronic Institute (CMI) has released an image that has been circulated widely on social media platforms as Musker (formerly known as Twitter).

The attempt to cover oil with the halo of healthy food has left some  anti-everyone-dying-in-a-fiery-carbonated-apocalypse activists bewildered and wondering if April 1st has been brought forward.

Speaking on behalf of the Institute of the Australian Majority Bleakly Imperilled by Climate Chaos (IAMBIC) spokesperson Dan Dennis said

“The carrot is a favourite of mine;

While carbon is a deadly form of heat

To claim a link between the two is fine

… if you’re a fool whose biz is dying meat”

He continued

“Wait, did I say that or just think it?”

A detailed investigation (five second google image search) has confirmed this –

August 11, 2010 – @TheOnion reports “Millions Of Barrels Of Oil Safely Reach Port In Major Environmental Catastrophe”

On this day 11 August in 2010, responding to the “Deep Horizon” disaster, the world’s most trusted news source, The Onion, spoke the truth.

Read it, and weep.

On this day carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 388.54 ppm. Now it is 421ish – but see here for the latest.

Why this matters. 

You have to laugh, don’t you? No, I mean, you HAVE to laugh.

What happened next?

The disaster kept happening.
