   I dunno, Doug. I bet if you checked his investment portfolio, you would find that he actually owns millions of dollars worth of carbon offsets. Yep, he’s the one person dumb enough to be making Al Gore rich.

   Well, the rest of us have to cut back in contributing the “grave” threat so he won’t have to. Not that he’d EVER consider a personal sacrifice in cutting back on his part – he’s far too important to make any.

   14 of them ranches with 55,000 bison

   I don’t pretend to be an expert, but it seems to me that 55,000 bison might generate some serious weather over the plains in the form of fart clouds. Good thing he drives a Prius to offset his footprints.

   16 Then he told them a parable: “The land of a certain rich man produced abundantly. 17 And he reasoned to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.” Luke 12:16-21

    I recall Ted trying to gin up some sort of congressional mandate for buffalo meat several years ago. He was whining that people just were not paying the high prices.

    Turner shuttles endlessly among his 28 properties — 14 of them ranches with 55,000 bison — traveling hundreds of thousands of miles per year on his private Challenger jet.

    Al gore claims he flies around the world to deliver an important message. I think the message is that the world is going to end because of all the damage his flying is doing to the climate (or something like that.) But what is Turner’s excuse? He needs to teach his bison to stop releasing methane? Or does he just like to look over his vast empire? It’s kind of like Harold Camping asking for donations right up to the day he predicted the world would end. It doesn’t seem like these guys really believe what they are preaching. They certainly don’t practice what they preach.

    But there is at least one positive lessen we can learn from Turner. Even the dimmest bulbs among us can become rich and successful in this country if they can take a good idea and run with it (or be in the right place at the right time.) But sitting on the couch watching CNN is never the right place or the right time.

    WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!!!!!!

    NONE of the animals he has are 100% bison. They’re bison-cattle hybrids. The ONLY true bisons left are in Yellowstone National Park. Even if they LOOK like bisons, THEY’RE NOT bison. Turner is propagating an alien species. He’s an enemy of the American West.

    Only one herd of privately owned bison that the researchers tested — on billionaire Ted Turner’s Vermejo Park Ranch in New Mexico — has no cattle DNA in its genetic makeup. Of the many untested private herds, Derr says, “It’s a safe assumption that most probably do have some evidence of cattle genetics.”

    Well it turns out he does have some purebreds. And some group has put pure bison onto land in Montana.

    Someone on this site once made a very astute comment. I don’t remember who it was. But the comment went along the following lines: These people on the left don’t want to live in a socialist society, they want to rule over one.

    I think that hits the nail on the head. That’s why these guys always feel exempt from the rules they set for everyone else. Everyone else should lower their carbon footprint to save the planet, but not them. They are special. They are the elite. They are above everyone else. They deserve special privileges because they need to rule over us. Everyone’s equal but some are more equal than others.

    According to Wikipedia, there are only 4 herds of free-roaming, genetically pure bison in the U.S., one of them the Yellowstone herd, which is the ONLY continuously wild herd in the country. So I was wrong. How the hell did he got his hands on some of THAT?

    The group in Montana is called the American Prairie Project, or something like that. They’re trying to recreate the prairies as they were 2 centuries ago, when Lewis and Clark first came and explored the Northwest. They brought in 14 bison, and the herd now numbers about 100. Next will be wolves and grizzlies.

    It appears that Teddy lucked in and got some of the purebred bison in private herds. Some ranchers in the 1890s were concerned and were able to obtain some purebreds before it was too late. They established herds and helped save the bison from extinction. But still Teddy is propagating hybrids in his other ranches.

    The professors who pimp the AGW lie garner bigger grants so the Universities join in the pimping. And if the professors are really big pimps they get to consult to the crony greenies or go work for them.

    But its so typical of the absolute arrogance of the left. There would be no traffic accidents if the scourge of humans didn’t exist (except for them to oversee things) …only the buffalo like years ago. Free roaming buffalo will freely roam just about anywhere they want…because they can. There is little that will hold them unless they are well fed where they are. If not, they will wander anywhere including private property, nature preserves and flowery parks and green spaces the leftists insist we pay for. Besides, according to them, there should be no private property unless its theirs. To be a raving leftist means to never have to consider the consequences of their lunacy or actions…only the intent, and only at the time it popped into their narrow little mind.
