WASHINGTON, DC --- A worldwide tree coalition was formed today in an effort to stop Al Gore and his quest to curb carbon emissions. The coalition, named Stop Gore, will begin urgent operations this week to stop Al Gore and his Communist revolution.
"We must stop this idiot," said Woody Barkroot, oak tree and president of the coalition. "We need carbon dioxide. We want warm weather. We thrive in warm weather. Maybe Al Gore stays nice and warm in his mansion with comfy heaters running year-round, but we have no such luxuries. We see this as nothing more than Al Gore advocating population control. While Al Gore himself probably creates more CO2 than 99% of the planet's population, his message is still dangerous. He might actually convince people to destroy the economy, reduce carbon output, and thereby reduce our ability to thrive. Make no mistake about it. We think Al Gore is a terrorist. We will find him, smoke him out of his hole, and bring him to justice. If we can't stop him, the we'll just start our own oxygen reduction campaign. We will find alternative methods to photosynthesis that will reduce oxygen emissions by the trees. Let's see how Gore likes that."
