Global Warming Ain't Cool & Fur Coats of the 21st. Century

To: Sheryl Crow --

Here's your next song: "Global Warming Ain't Cool"

I have been trying to find some parallel here, and the only one I can come up with is the "natural fur" one. For years, furs were cool. Mink, fox, chinchilla, etc. I remember my aunt wearing an expensive one. Now she can't even take it out of cold storage for fear of having it inked. Somehow we came to look not up to people wearing these things. An inverted snobbism blossomed, and we all applauded (to ourselves) those who inked the furs as they walked down the street.

"You have so much money that you can wear a $3000 coat that needed the killing of 265 small animals to make. Yeah, you are sooooo cool!" -- Furs became uncool fast.

We have to find a way to do this with the environment. We have to get rid of the "tree-hugger" nerd wearing Birkenstocks as the symbol of the environmental movement.

Maybe if large, gas guzzling cars became the "fur coats" of this century that would be a start.

To be continued...

Any help on this will be welcome.
