Over at Kate McMillan's Whites-Only Delisle Tattoo Parlor and Roadhouse, Kate is peeing herself over the funny of misspeaking "carbon" for "carbon dioxide":
Because, above all else, Kate is about the accuracy. Or maybe not. We're never sure.

Balloon Juice has a posting category called "Wingnut Event Horizon", under the premise that wingnut talking points are becoming so far divorced from reality that they're starting to be incomprehensible to regular people (e.g. "Where's the birth certificate?").
I don't understand Kate's post. Is she really sniggering because he said "carbon" instead of "carbon dioxide", which is something scientists do all the time for very sensible reasons? Is it that he said carbon emissions "pollute the air", when (if using a very precise definition) they generally don't?
Or is it just wingnut code, where expressing concern over carbon dioxide is hilariously ridiculous all on its own?
It's like constantly peppering your conversations with allusions to Dune. A very small number of people are going to think you're clever, but the rest of us will just find you weird and difficult to understand.
