Canadian Beer Drinkers Menace Biosphere
Posted by Dave Blount at November 29, 2007 3:23 PM
Canadian taxpayers have financed a study that reveals inefficient "beer fridges" to be yet another cause of the imaginary climate change crisis. As British environmental consultant Joanna Yarrow piously chides:
People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles. Clearly the environmental implications of having a frivolous luxury like a beer fridge are not hitting home. This research helps inform people — let's hope it has an effect.
The study's lead researcher Denise Young of the University of Alberta suggests the authorities hold buy-backs of aging secondary refrigerators (inevitably financed once again by the long-suffering taxpayers). Another option is simply to confiscate any refrigerators that aren't new enough to suit bureauweenies. Property rights are a small price to pay for rescuing the polar bears.
