RSSSchwarzenegger to CeBIT: 'Go green!'
By Jacqueline Emigh | Published March 3, 2009, 5:40 PM
At the CeBIT fair in Germany this week, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is acting as a cheerleader (and unofficial ambassador of sorts) for the green computing products of the Silicon Valley, exhorting attendees from Europe and elsewhere to "Go green!" In an energetic speech during opening ceremonies, Schwarzenegger pumped up the audience at the recession-rocked show, down 25 percent this year in numbers of exhibitors.
"We are gathering in challenging times. Some may say this is the wrong time for a big trade show like this, but they are wrong," urged the Governor, who accompanied about 50 computer vendors from California to the event in Germany. During a stop at IBM's booth at CeBIT, Schwarzenegger contended that time is of the essence for cutting energy costs and reducing greenhouse emissions, with the information technology industry's carbon footprint still expanding inexorably from one year to the next.

|He should be back home cutting the dripping lard from his waste-filled bankrupt state. That might green up things a bit. Sigh.

Have I misunderstood here? Why would he try to pump up the audience that would increase probability of sold products - which are so-called "green products"? Doesn't that contradicts with being green? More buyers means more junks - the old ones they have. He should try to lower down the number of audience instead.
PS) Why the news here lack of photos?

|Sigh. I'm all for saving electricity, which saves money and natural resources, which gives us a little more time to create sustainable energy alternatives (nuclear fusion is high on my wish list). But I sure could do without the constant regurgitation of the man-made global warming myth. Carbon dioxide has never caused a sudden change in Earth's climate. Its scientifically impossible for this to occur, and mainstream science knows this full well. But the myth is politically correct, so you either parrot the lie and prosper, or defy it and get blacklisted. Its sad when science becomes the lapdog of politics, but this has been the case time and again throughout the centuries. I know what the decent German people must have felt like when their scientists were boldly declaring the inferiority of certain breeds of human.
