Climate Police Denounce Lamb, Tomatoes, and Alcohol

The cult of global warming, as represented by Britain’s bureaucracy, has found new culprits[1] in the climatic oppression of the polar bears: lamb, tomatoes, and alcohol.

Lamb should not be eaten because sheep belch, thus throwing the climate into chaos.

A government-sponsored study into greenhouse gases found that producing 2.2lb of lamb released the equivalent of 37lb of carbon dioxide.

A similar study, conducted in the Dark Ages, found that 42 angels could dance on the head of a pin.

Tomatoes stand condemned as the most “carbon-intensive” of vegetables, because they are often grown in greenhouses. Look for punitive taxes, to be followed by bans. Enjoy your ketchup and spaghetti sauce while you can.

Worse still, the high priests of envirofascism have alcohol in their sites:

Alcoholic drinks are another significant contributory factor, with the growing and processing of crops such as hops and malt into beer and whisky helping to generate 1.5% of the nation’s greenhouse gases.

If only a study would invent some percentage of greenhouse gases generated by power-mad bureaucrats.
