Smoking ban poses new climate threat

Smoking ban poses new climate threat -- from the article:

Environmentalists say the heaters must now be banned if Britain is to meet carbon dioxide emission targets.

Tony Juniper, of Friends of the Earth, said: "The impacts of the smoking ban are positive, but this should not cause more problems for the environment. Either smokers will have to give up smoking or simply put on a jumper."

Ah yes... the nanny state...

Ah hell, let's just ban living completely -- it's the only safe thing to do.

Probably will serve as a good point to lift the smoking ban if read right.

"increase from 22,200 tons of greenhouse gases a year to up to 282,000 tons - the equivalent of flying a jumbo jet 171 times around the Earth.
"


That would only take a certain Acedemy Award winning documentarian about 4 months to achieve in his endeavor to inform the world of the harm greenhouse gases pose to our Earth.

That just rocks. I forwarded that on to some friends of mine. As Bugs Bunny would say; "...what a bunch of maroons....".
