    Don't forget the snorting, spitting and slurping 1.3 billion chinese contribution to green house gasses.

    Not to mention the French contribution in form of smelly cheeses giving off green-gas molecules, or has French-bashing gone out of fashion with the Chinese being the new target for vitriolic drivel, Early?

    ^I'm afraid I'm a very big fan of stinky french cheeses. One thing I'll never give up even if I find the french obnoxious.
    Much like lately I'm developing a distinct appreciation of real chinese teas.
    Just because I think the chinese I often encounter are cheap, demanding, noisy and rude doesn't mean I'll quit drinking tea.

    Was there any mention of how much escapes from all the internet forums? Now, that has to be taken into consideration, surely.

    Actually this is old news, just ask a vegetarian. Go to some vegie site, they will tell you even more stuff about how bad it is to eat meat.

    "A radical approach to Kyoto" von Alan Calverd

    But thats not my cup of tea. I love a nice big T-Bone Steak and a salut out of my rear.

    And yes they did say the word fart.

    The logic is exceedingly simple:
    How many pounds of veggies to grow a pound of meat?
    How many pounds of meat to grow a pound of human?

    Well in case of the fat, obscenely overweight yanks, you'd have to add the increased consumption of oil for transporting themselves from A to B on a daily basis.

    I doubt the average German or Brit weight amounts to 195 pounds.
    Besides, we use public transport and walk a lot more.

    Oh, talking about the EU, I haven't kept up with the news, has any of our enlightened leaders yet had the bright idea to sell off the meat and butter surplus instead of producing more and storing it at taxpayers' expense?

    That should get a few farting cows off the landscape.

    Isn't that to do with the CAP - Common Agricultural Policy? Stupid EU gutless bureaucrats, inherited from the equally stupid Common Market bollockless bureaucrats.

    There was a song "You never see a farmer on a bike". Sums it up perfectly.

    BBC news just showed David Shukman reporting from a Bangkok street outside the Climate Change Summit meeting. While the pictures being shown were of exhaust pipes and black smoke, he said said that he was feeling ill because of all the greenhouse gasses being pumped out by the Bangkok traffic. What a total dickhead.

    This guy is supposed to be the BBC's environment and science correspondent and he doesn't know the difference between greenhouse gasses and pollution. Pathetic.

    Well done British Bullshit Corporation.

    I think they pull these jobs out of a hat at the Christmas party - That said, isn't there carbon dioxide in exhaust fumes? (not that that was the connection the reporter was making).

    Re. the BBC: They do seem to be dumbing down far too much for my liking - I hanker for the days when the BBC radio news-readers had to wear full dinner suits.

    Absolutely, but it's unburnt diesel and petrol that stinks and makes you feel ill. The carbon dioxide is odourless. The BBC don't care about accuracy or facts any more - just report anything that makes a good story and fits in with the available film.

    If all the vehicles in Bangkok had catalytic converters, they'd be producing even more carbon dioxide, but at least they wouldn't be adding to the stink.

    Amazing. I was going to compare them to the tabloid papers, but cut it out of my post above. But yes, that's exactly what they are like now. Lord Reith must be spinning in his grave.

    I think that their problem is having to justify the compulsory license fee by not being seen to be elitist in any way - They have to be seen to be competing with commercial and satellite television for audience share - And commercial and satellite television is driven by advertising revenue which requires output appealing to a large viewer base. BBC2 isn't too bad, and BBC4 has some good programmes. BBC1 and BBC3 are pretty much tosh and nonsense.

    When I wake up and hear the R4 Today programme I know that all's well with the world (not literally of course, the world's in a right old state).
