In an effort to help find a better photo, I typed a phrase into google that apparently is a popular search term that results in the top hit being from Urban Dictionary. Needless to say, it was definitely NOT safe for work. Had no idea that it was a thing. Also, I'm fucking dying laughing because holy shit it was funny as hell. Just note to others, don't google a particular nordic country + leaf blower......unless you want to read something both gross and hilarious at the same time....
I just want to condemn this type of activity. We of the combustion blower community (CBC) are a law abiding people. We do not stand with what is essentially domestic terrorism. While we do not agree with the ban we will work legal channels and lobby to make our voices heard. These people do not represent us much like our politicians. Our hearts go out to the threatened man and his family. Nobody can blow as hard as we all can blow hard.

I'm sure just one of John Kerry's jet's APUs emits more CO2 in one day than I do all year with my snowblower, lawnmower, weed wacker, chain saws, and of course my leaf blowers do in one year.
Big time leaf blower guy here. Yesterday I found a new application and cleaned the interior of my truck with it. Bermuda Triangle between console and seat giving you trouble? Dog hair? Sand and gravel? Open the doors and roll down the windows and send that shit to outer space my friends.

Approx 100-200 lbs of Jet A/hr… depending on APU

Several studies have estimated climate impacts for different modes of travel on a per person-kilometer basis. It accounts for things like airplanes being full of many passengers vs single-driver pickup trucks. Or short vs long flights (shorter flights having more ascent per mile). Turns out air travel is not so bad (or rather, auto driving is deceptively bad) depending on these details.
Climate change: Should you fly, drive or take the train?
How should you travel to reduce your carbon footprint?

This new study was quite interesting, lifecycle analysis per traveler per km per mode

An honest tune with a lingering lead
I condemn climate hypocrites, especially our ruling class and celebrities.
Live your life however you seem fit. I don't care. But if you are flying around the world on private jets, buying mansions on the coast, have a 20,000 sq' cabin in the mtns that you might visit twice a year, cruise around on your mega-yacht, etc., then shut the fuck up about the existential threat climate change poses to the rest of us.
Folks like you (and other climate activists) should be more fed up with these people but I never get that sense. Instead you celebrate banning gas blowers and plastic straws.
Take a step back and it is all pretty funny.

" If I had that kind of money, I'd do the same".
The difference is that he’s not a hypocritical climate activist…
