Global Warming Reduced by Online Casinos, Expert Says

Play Slots at Rushmore Casino! SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Across the globe, in news-rooms, government buildings, classrooms, and elite urban areas, talk of global warming and climate-change has never been more front and center. Environmental groups have used the threat of global warming to tear-down capitalist economies for the past 30 years. Western greed is  accused of melting the polar ice-caps, and the only way to save the planet is to put these small-businesses and corporations out of business.

To help solve the problem, it seems like everyday there is someone trying to promote a way to reduce global warming through the elimination or regulation of business. Well, today, a Canadian researcher has proposed a plan.

"If we put all of the land-based casinos in the world out of business, including Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Macau, we could reduce our carbon foot-print by several billion units per day", says Claude Alexander, a retired professor and global warming researcher.

"The amount of electricity required to power one Las Vegas casino is beyond belief, the lights, air-conditioning, smoke-filled card rooms, and the jet-fuel to fly-out there; these are legitimate concerns", he added.

When asked how Western lawmakers should handle the situation, "any business that grossly exceeds it carbon footprint and does not provide an essential service should be required to shutdown".

He continued to say, "I am not against online casinos, if someone wishes to gamble in the privacy of their own home, they shall be given the opportunity. Government should not block that right, especially since there is no environmental impact by online casinos and poker rooms."
