Continuing its Extraordinary Earth series pushing the climate change agenda, on Tuesday, ABC’s Good Morning America aired a juvenile report portraying efforts to reduce one’s carbon footprint as a daily struggle between good and evil.
The segment urged viewers to listen to their “better angels” on the environment and ignore their “devilish instincts.”
“Reducing our carbon footprint means changing our habits, but change is hard. Sometimes we listen to our better angels, but other times our devilish instincts have us taking the easy path,” warned correspondent Becky Worley, as angel and devil versions of herself appeared on screen, hovering above each shoulder (yes, really).
Luckily, the reporter found a way to guide her climate conscience:
“That’s where the EPA’s carbon calculator comes in. It adds up all our little choices to help us see the amount of carbon we personally put into the atmosphere.”
Worley was then confronted with a series of scenarios that truly tested her environmental faith:
Take recycling. The devil says, “Don’t rinse that out. Just toss it.” Make that choice all the time and, boom, the average person helps create 692 pounds of carbon annually.
Now let’s talk gas and electricity. The devil says, “Turn the thermostat up, wash on hot, leave your computer on all night.” But using the EPA calculator, our angel advises setting up power management to turn your computer off automatically, a cold wash, “It cleans just as well,” and lowering the house temperature a few degrees. “That sweater is just fetching on you,” thank you. To save 9,115 pounds of CO2 each year, not to mention over $70 a month in utility bills.
And of course, driving. “You’re too tired to bike to work. Public transport, oh, no. Too much human interaction [coughing].” But when our angel uses the carbon calculator to guide our choices – wait, angels do math? “Of course, we do.” Reducing your driving even 10% below average can reduce your carbon footprint by over 1,100 pounds of CO2.
Wrapping up the report, she proclaimed: “Here’s to our better angels moving us toward a better future.”
On Monday, reporter Will Reeve panicked over the possibility that climate change could cripple the coffee industry.
When launching the climate series back on February 19, ABC’s chief meteorologist Ginger Zee traveled to Africa and scolded the U.S. for being one of “the biggest carbon emitters.”
As Christians around the world observe Lent in preparation for Easter, it’s clear some in the liberal media are following a different religion.

I quit watching GMA years ago its nothing but leftists propeganda not news
The Left really are aligning themselves with all the EVIL influences.
The Universe consists of Positive and Negative energy. They balance each other except when one gets out of hand and this is what appears to be happening with all the Negativity.
Whatever it is, it got into most of the Media and all government run Radio and Television companies, such as the BBC in Britain, the ABC in Australia and America.
It really does need to be cleaned out, and one would have thought that the Right leaning powers would do something about this urgent need, but they don’t. So what is that frightens Trump, Morrison, Johnson so much – surely not a loss of votes?
When will this Leftist drivel finally lose their credibility?
I reduced my carbon footprint without trying to many years ago when I stopped writing with pencils. Now I do most of my writing with a pen or more usually with a computer – WHICH I LEAVE ON ALL THE DANG TIME!! My computer is not going to destroy the world.
just how big is Al Gores Carbon Footprint? lets use Football Fields to measure his carbon Footprints
