    I think the advice to eat a vegatarian once a week is quite a good idea.

    Lord Stern, who said that he was not a strict vegetarian himself, was speaking on the eve of an all-parliamentary debate on climate change.

    I vote we start eating the politicians and all the global warming monkeys once this faux religion has finally been thrown on the carbon positive scrap pile.

    If they have a right to tell me what to eat, then I have a right to tell them exactly where I'm sticking this large dildo up their 'arris and how deep.

    Hoons, the lot of 'em.

    Or simply invent a synthetic method of converting cellulose to protein.

    Btw, if CO is not a greenhouse gas and CO2 is, why have we got catalytic convertors fitted to cars?

    There are 1.4 billion livestock emitting 500litres of methane each every day
    I say ,cover their backsides and connect it to British gas grid

    I'm not sure science has anything to do with it....

    Up to 20,000 delegates from 192 countries are due to attend the UN conference in the Danish capital. Its aim is to forge a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
    Right. Surely they could have done this by video conferencing which would have gone towards reducing emissions. Think of all those flights, all that extra transport laid on, all the utilities used in hotels, all the extra food, tossers...


    Damn quicker than me

    How are they all going to get there?
