Don't get me started on all that climate b0ll0x!!

Up to 20,000 delegates from 192 countries are due to attend the UN conference in the Copenhagen, which aims to thrash out a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently to prevent an increase in global temperatures of more than 2 degrees centigrade.

How are they all going to get there?

Right. Surely they could have done this by video conferencing which would have gone towards reducing emissions. Think of all those flights, all that extra transport laid on, all the utilities used in hotels, all the extra food, tossers...

Damn quicker than me

People should give up eating meat to halt climate change, according to Lord Stern of Brentford, a leading authority on global warming.

And what scientific background has this tw@t got exactly?

I'm not sure science has anything to do with it....

There are 1.4 billion livestock emitting 500litres of methane each every day
I say ,cover their backsides and connect it to British gas grid

All the bulltulip emitted on CUK could power most of Europe.

Not sure of the chemistry but replacing a highly adapted and efficient cellulose-to-protein converting mechanism like a cow's stomach for a inefficient human one that is not evolved to do it doesn't sound sensible.

Catalytic converters fitted to cows' bottoms, much easier. Or little power plants that not only burn the CH4 back to less harmful CO2 but charge batteries fitted next to the cows' udders. Swap the charged batteries for dead ones when they are milked.

Or simply invent a synthetic method of converting cellulose to protein.

Btw, if CO is not a greenhouse gas and CO2 is, why have we got catalytic convertors fitted to cars?
