BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | Carbon cost of Christmas dinner


Really...on this one day of the year...who gives a **** about carbon footprints!!!???

NotoriousREV

And isn't if offset by the fact that most people don't go out in their cars one that one day?

The Zohan

Yup, + office/businesses shut down for the day.

SWRTWannabe

Wonder what the carbon footprint is of the scientists computing carbon footprints?

LG John

I wonder what the carbon footprint is of Scoobynet debating the merits of scientists calculating the carbon footprint of Christmas dinner....

I have to say WHO CARES ! I'm getting completly fed up of this carbon footprint drivel been shoved down our throats. Instead of spending time working out this stuff - why not spend the time trying to persuade the countries that are the worst offenders !

You know... I'd like to leave a Carbon footprint on their dumb fat *****...

Does this make me an Eco-Warrior???

who gives a flying ****

"The cranberry sauce alone, normally imported from North America, contributes half the carbon footprint related to transport."

You can see why Hollywood goes with the "meteor crashes into Earth" story for end of the world movies. Bruce Willis battling the importation of yummy sauces to the UK to save the planet is not quite so exciting.

I hope all you planet killing gits are satisfied.. when your sitting on your backsides stuffing yourself with Turkey and sprouts think, THINK, of the poor penguins you ***tards!

paulwrxboro

Sprouts make you fart aswel, so im giving them up for a year, thus enabling me to drive a 4x4 for 2008

who says im not green

I think we're supposed to feel guilty for enjoying life at all. There's some very screwed up thinking in this country today.

NotoriousREV

To be perfectly honest, as I type this I'm looking out the window at a 4 litre V8 Lexus, a 2.6 litre twin tubo Nissan and a thirsty soft roader (Forester) so I think that tells everyone everything they need to know about my conern over my carbon footprint.

In fact, I'm now considering penguin for Xmas dinner

Pass the cranberry sauce. Twice

I think we all need a break in Bali to discuss this. Tough I know...........

"The Manchester researchers estimate a dinner for eight generates 20kg (44lbs) of carbon dioxide emissions."

My methane output alone will dwarf that - you guys must try harder.

I'll have a **** off big coal fire going in the living room.
Both patio heaters will be on full blast all night.
All the lights outside will be burning 24hrs +



AND all my 'leccy stuff will be left on standby when I go to bed!

Klaatu

You are right. Then this guilt is placated by purchasing carbon offsets or paying carbon taxes. Al Gore will become even richer (His carbon trading company is based in the UK).

LOL I wonder what our eco warriors on sn will do about theBLLIONS OF TONS OF C02 emitted by volcanoes every year, maybe they should scrap the sprouts to offset their carbon footprint

Abdabz

I saw something on tele where two ten year olds were arguing for and against christmas lights on houses and the one against used climate change as a reason not to have them
I just pitied her and found it disgusting that presumably her parents had brainwashed mistruths into her at such a young impressionable age...

Who cares about carbon footprints at xmas? or any other time for that matter?

Sonic'

What is the betting that the folks who came up with that story will be stuffing their faces come xmas day like the rest of us

SJ_Skyline

Just typical of the bollocks the BBC chooses to publicise these days as it fits in nicely with their tree-hugging pseudo-liberal-green agenda.



and it's a clever conspiracy to raise taxes

TopBanana

What's the carbon cost of having a few drinks with friends, playing with your kids, making love to your wife?

Maybe there's something in certain people's psyche that makes them need to feel guilty. Is this the new Christianity?

Tidgy

probably the turkey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


but mmm so sweet and juicy, put me down for a turkey sandwich as well

The Snug Rhino

If you are doing all that at the same time you have bigger issues than greenhouse gas.

TopBanana

Hmm

What a mserable load of Wassocks. They want stuffing!

I doubt if it was her parents; you just need to leave your kids watching Newsround and Blue Peter. The BBC propaganda machine will do the rest.

I think the issue on this forum is 'who gives a **** about carbon footprints on any day of the year'

For Crying out loud. Read this article from a guy who promotes reducing your 'footprint'

Carbon myths | Environment | The Guardian
