Petition to ban Dihydrogen monoxide

[EternalOptimist]

But when I was in Cancun the ban was to only affect government organisations; it's not the first time the proposals had been watered down...

WRCS Ditto.

Delegates at Cancun didnt have to think twice about signing a petition banning this substance.

This chemical is found in our rivers,lakes and in large quantities in the sea. It is fatal if inhaled, a major greenhouse gas and without it there would be no acid rain.

Dihydrogen monoxide is more commonly known as water, and the petition was a spoof.

Clearly conferences like this attract all sorts of freeloaders and kooks, but we are entrusting our economy and future to these people. They are supposed to understand the science and help formulate policy, but they will sign up to anything that has the words, ban protect, earth and global in it.

Cancun kooks
