The Passionate Environmentalist

Noah Bunn was a true Friend of the Earth. How he loved our home planet, and insisted that others love it as well as he did....or else.

How best to coerce others into taking your side than to burn them out? This was Mr. Bunn's brilliant scheme when he poured petrol on the furniture of the Jesuit parochial house in Donnybrook and then set it alight. Why did he do such a thing? Because the Jesuits he worked for were not doing enough to protect the environment.

So he started up a fire and dumped untold millions of CO2 atoms into the air.

To protect the environment.

There was no doubt as to his guilt, since Mr. Bunn threatened a Korean priest in residence. Get out or be burnt to a crisp, the arsonist decreed, and one might suppose that the priest would never forget the face of a man who carried a knife in his waistband and threatened to use it. CCTV footage showed Mr. Bunn purchasing petrol and a lighter, so there you have it. Guilty as charged, and the arsonist isn't denying a thing.

Mr. Bunn admitted to the crime and has vowed to never again do such a thing, even though his passion to save the environment continues to burn brightly. Someone must have gotten to him since his arrest and explained how counterproductive it is to burn carbon based materials, like wood, when one is loudly proclaiming against carbon dioxide emissions that lead to man-made global warming. Makes the passionate environmentalists look uncommonly dim.
