Life My public health warning to the world.

**Rain Man** · 10-22-2015, 04:27 PM

I was thinking about this today.

I had a Coke, and as you know, the bottle is sealed. I finished my liquid poison and started to throw it away. As a neat person, I put the lid back on, and then gasped with alarm as I understood the implications.

I present to you the following facts:

1. Plastic soda and water bottles degrade very slowly over thousands of years.
2. The lids on these bottles seal tightly.
3. If you put the lid on before throwing it away, you essentially seal air into the bottle.
4. The earth is a closed system.

If you put all of these pieces together, the truth becomes evident. If you put the lid on your soda bottle before throwing it away, you seal away some air into a container that won't degrade for thousands of years. In essence, you're removing air from the environment.

If we keep doing this, we will all eventually die of suffocation as all of the atmosphere ends up in landfills inside sealed soda bottles and water bottles. It's just a matter of time.

So when you throw your bottle away, don't put the lid on it or we'll all die. Or I guess you could recycle it.

I had a day off in the 90's and flipped by an Oprah show. I was intrigued because she had a scientist talking about the global environment. He said oxygen levels had dropped from 36% in the 1800's to 21% now. Nobody on the panel could refute it...... and here we are.

I bet it's bottles.

Or are we storing precious oxygen in airtight containers to save us after the lizard people enslave the planet and take our air? Maybe the coke bottles will be the fuel of the rebellion.

That would be a GREAT movie plot. And the product placement revenues would be immense.

The science is still out on this.

“This week the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decided that the air we exhale, carbon dioxide, is toxic and poses a danger to our well-being … While this blatant power grab is disappointing, the truly alarming part is that the scientific evidence the EPA used to support its conclusion comes directly from United Nations (U.N.) climate data — the same data that were recently found to have been deliberately manipulated to support the coke air trapping movement. When EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced the proposed endangerment finding in April, she readily admitted that the agency “relied heavily upon the major findings and conclusions from recent assessments of the U.S. Coke Bottle Air Trapping Science Program and the Intergovernmental Panel on Coke Air Trapping.” Emails recently made public offer definitive proof of a collective effort among some U.N. scientists to misrepresent coke air trapping in order to foist their political agenda onto the public.”

Does this mean that when you get buried alive at a landfill, just look for soda bottles and suck the air out to live?

Rain man just found a way for all of those people to live until they can be found!

**Bob Dole** · 10-22-2015, 04:55 PM

Our city recycling program explicitly requires plastic bottles to have the lids removed.

Bob Dole now knows why.
