Smoking Bans Blamed for Global Warming
How's this for a double bind: Moonbat-imposed indoor smoking bans are said to exacerbate moonbats' beloved global warming farce.
Fewer cigarettes get lit indoors in bars and restaurants because of smoking bans from California to Ireland but something else is going up in smoke from a sidewalk in central Oslo — about $100,000 a year in extra outdoor heating bills.
The heated pavement, installed at a cost of about $400,000, may be the most extreme example of an environmental side-effect of smoking bans: rocketing power use. […T]hink of all the thousands of extra gas and electricity heaters outdoors spurred by the smoking bans around the world…
If only global warming were real, soon we wouldn't need outdoor heaters. Unfortunately higher power bills are real enough. Once again we see that for every heavy-handed moonbat action, there is a reaction of unintended consequences that leaves the world worse off.
On a tip from Oiao.

Let's just play it safe and ban everything.

Apparently, Global Warming also gives you AIDS. And most of us thought it was unprotected gay sex and intravenous drug use.

I have heard this a million times:"But our intentions were good".

This post is just stupid.
Read the article. It's a restaurant owner hoping to attract business.
And it's using power generated by non-greenhouse hydropower.
And the article says it's the only known one in the world.
I wouldn't get my panties in a bunch over "all the thousands of extra gas and electricity heaters outdoors spurred by the smoking bans around the world."
That's just assinine.

What about the cigarette SMOKE that's being released into the atmosphere instead of being FILTERED by the central heat and air conditioning?
