Belching Criminals

As if it wasn't enough to outlaw lightbulbs, banning black cars, throwing out your new cars and sending up planes with infra-red cameras to spy on citizens energy usage, here we have the latest insanity inspired by The Warming Hoax (thankfully at this stage still contained in the UK, but watch how this idea will spread faster than swine flu...)

From The Times (May 24, 2009):

"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."

So we have now moved away from blaming farting cows as the biggest CO2 producer but now pointing the sharp kebab stick of blame to the widdle innocent lambs

“We are not saying that everyone should become vegetarian or give up drinking but moving towards less carbon intensive foods will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve health,” said Kennedy."

To paraphrase the late Charles Heston, you can take this kebab from me when you pry it out of my cold-slightly-overweight-due-to eating-too much-carbon-intensive-food dead hands.

A final word from our sponsor, and my official response to David Kennedy "chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change"

Burping Sheep or Climate Change Criminal? You decide...
