I read an interesting post on the Not a Lot of People Know That blog by Paul Homewood where Goldsmiths University in London has announced plans to ban the sale of beef at its campus canteens, as part of a "major drive" to become a carbon neutral organisation by 2026.
Now a couple of points spring to mind. Firstly, cows are vegans, are they not. They eat only a vegetable diet and as a by-product put out quantities of noxious gases. So I feel that it will be necessary to abolish veganism as the vegan diet clearly is a contributor to any climate change, if it's happening at all. It's one reason why I always stand upwind of them.
Secondly, the woman behind this (and the banning of beef is only a small part of the changes she is forcing upon the students) announced that her background was as a "fashion activist", whatever that might be. We might have to force feed all vegans and vegetarians with steaks.
Thirdly, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 0.0314% and yet no one has ever proved scientifically that CO2 drives changes in the climate. All the "evidence" to that effect is drawn from computer models. Which is why so many alleged scientists can confidently predict that by 2080 or 2090 or some other date plucked out of the air dreadful changes will have occurred. On top of that no one will be around to hold them up to ridicule in 2080, pointing out that their apocalyptic predictions were all nonsense. After all, they can't forecast next week's weather with 100 % certainty, so anything much beyond that is little more than guesswork.
And lastly, if we should all be exchanging our cars for electric, stop burning oil in our home heating systems, rely on wind turbines for our energy needs to reduce CO2, surely there is one much simpler way. Every bubble in every fizzy soft drink is pure CO2, and there are billions of cans sold daily worldwide. Just ban Coke, Pepsi, and every other fizzy soft drink (and champagne) and the problem is solved.
