Looks like the government is serious:

Well it's worth it, we need to save the planet.

Ah yes, that's what we need. More taxes. Tax is good. Yes. Wibble.

This would never have happened under the... no, wait, my mistake.

It's quite interesting how it's been completely hidden.

I sort of wonder how a manufacturer firmly cabled up to the National Grid is going to reduce his Carbon Emissions by "becoming more efficient". So are they saying they didn't care about the electricity bills? Probably cheaper to pay the fine than employ an army of energy saving experts to fill out the forms. Just basically an increase in business tax, a sort of insdiscriminate tax really that will just hit manufacturers hard instead of banks, insurance companies and hairdressers. Well Napolen did say we were a nation of shopkeepers.

So basically it will reduce the UKs carbon output by forcing industry (whats left of it) to relocate to somewhere more friendly.

Don't worry about my carbon emissions. It's the hydrogen sulfide that'll get you.

It's probably the inhalation of one's vomit as they smell the high concentration of thiols in the flatulence!

Thanks for that; I followed one of the links to this.

Chemistry's brilliant!

Note the imaginative names for smelly compounds;

"Who-Me?"
Five ingredients are used to make this sulfur-based chemical, which smells of rotting carcasses. "Who-Me?" was developed during World War II so that French resistance fighters could humiliate German soldiers by making them stink.
