Joseph Farah, one of the many lunatics over at the wingnut fringe site WorldNetDaily posted an article today titled Life imitates '24', once again trying to justify our use of torture because Jack Bauer does it on TV. I already covered this absurd notion a couple weeks ago, but there was one thing about the show that I forgot to mention, and that's the fact that 24 is the first carbon neutral television production. Now, if the right-wing wants to use a work of Hollywood fiction to justify breaking the law, then how do they reconcile that with the idea that the people behind that show are championing the "liberal" cause of fighting climate change?
It's funny because I discussed this very same topic the day before I wrote about Jack Bauer in my Earth Day column; why is the party that uses 24 to support torture, not listening to 24 about the environment? It's an appropriate analogy for the Republican Party, wrapped up in fiction while ignoring the reality that's right in front of their face.
Here are some PSAs from the cast of 24 about climate change:
24 Going Green PSA - Kiefer Sutherland
24 Going Green PSA - Cherry Jones
24 Going Green PSA - Mary Lynn Rajskub

What if we started a campaign along the lines of "Going green is the new torture!" and re-named green practices to sound more like torture? Would GOPers line up to back such deviant practices as recycleboarding?
