Next thing you know, the climahysterics will link the Zamboni and the refrigerants used to freeze the ice at hockey rinks in to the insanity
Scientists have found a new threat to the planet: Canadian beer drinkers.
The government-commissioned study says the old, inefficient “beer fridges” that one in three Canadian households use to store their Molson and Labatt’s contribute significantly to global warming by guzzling gas- and coal-fired electricity.
“People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles,” British environmental consultant Joanna Yarrow tells New Scientist magazine. “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 problem is that the beer fridges are mostly decades-old machines that began their second careers as beverage dispensers when Canadians upgraded to more energy-efficient models to store whatever Canadians eat besides doughnuts and poutine.
I’m wondering if the the person who wrote the story was smashed on Moosehead at the time. I wish I could say the story was a joke, but it is in the scitech section. Man, is Fox News going to get some nasty letters from some Canadians.
Of course, let’s be honest: climahystericy is a joke in itself, as are all the people who believe in it, but refuse to practice what they preach.
However, it is based on a real and serious study at The New Scientist.
