Climate Change Idiocy

Check out this article about how eating certain foods contributes to climate change. Are these people insane or what?

Here's the first paragraph of the article:

"GIVE up lamb roasts and save the planet. Government advisers are developing menus to combat climate change by cutting out “high carbon” food such as meat from sheep, whose burping poses a serious threat to the environment."

Seriously! If I promise not to eat lamb, will the lambs agree to stop burping? Is that how this works?

Fortunately these lunatics are in the UK, but given our panting over all things European, I'm sure we're not too far behind. And, given the fact that our government is already telling us what kinds of cars we should drive, what companies we should invest in and what kinds of lifestyles we should embrace, it's not too far fetched that it will also begin telling us what foods we can eat.

  1. I am just wondering how long it will take before we can say with certainty that the models showing man made global warming from CO2 emmisions are accurate (yeah, I know, all the scientists agree and only the dummies don't believe it). When algore is out there yelling about something and getting all red in the face, I tend not to believe.

    Having said all of that, I agree with one of the comments in that story. We need an "engineering" solution, meaning we need to find a way to counteract the CO2 instead of going back to the stone ages, if in fact CO2 is causing warming.

  2. What would be really funny is if all the things we are doing to combat global warming had a great effect and actually caused an ice age of sorts when we know longer have enough "greenhouse gases" to sufficiently warm our planet. . .
