He went even further to forbid the purchase of recyclable spoons, cardboard, or pretty much any product that helps to protect the environment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Beck:<\/strong> I am dead serious. I fire the person that starts to purchase fluorescent light bulbs unless that is the only light bulb for a specific reasons and I want to be CC&#8217;ed on what that reason is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So if you work for Glenn Beck and you just want to buy CFLs because they last longer than conventional bulbs and save money on energy bills, you&#8217;re out of luck. If you disagree with his anti-science stance on global warming, you better keep your mouth shut, and restrict your purchases to only the most polluting products. Beck will not permit you to make your own choices and still allow you to keep your job. You must submit to his will, because as long as you work for him, you have no free will of you own.<\/p>\n<p>The reason Beck has laid down this edict is because he views environmental responsibility as tantamount to treason. It is a typically myopic viewpoint that ignores the benefits of energy conservation, and a clean, healthy environment, apart from any consideration of climate change. He is so opposed to anything that smacks of sustainable living that he would prefer poisoning the air and water to taking measures to reduce pollution.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Beck:<\/strong> If you\u2019re doing anything in this company because of global warming, you\u2019re fired. Global warming is a pile of crap. A load of socialist, communist crap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You see, all of the science professionals and climatologists, 97% of whom agree that the climate is warming and that humans are the cause, are really just commie subversives bent on world domination. The facts, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/michaelkanellos\/2013\/08\/27\/glenn-beck-vows-to-fire-employees-for-buying-fluorescent-bulbs-recyclables\/\" target=\"_blank\">succinctly put<\/a> in that liberal, anti-capitalist rag Forbes Magazine, are irrelevant to Beck. And any attempt to think for yourself is also evidence of your betrayal of loyalty to Master Beck.
