Global dimming

This is a really serious issue Tommy, and you’re right to raise it here.

The Government cannot do anything, it’s up to the people to do something about this terrible scourge of global warming that has become so fashionable amongst the chattering classes recently.

Following the principle that ”the polluter pays” we should all be prepared to pay substantially more taxes. Those that don’t pollute can have a rebate. This will stop pollution overnight.

Following Richmond-upon-Thames Council’s brave lead, we should all pay vastly increased charges for parking our cars outside our houses. This will instantly penalise polluters and reduce global warming at a stroke.

All forms of air transport should be immediatly abolished, as it is a well known fact that aeroplanes are a prime cause of upper air pollution.

All street lights across the entire countryshould be turned off permanently so as to reduce electricity consumption and thus, at a stroke, reduce global warming.

Central heating should be prohibited by law and all plumbers that instal it should be ostracised by society, as they are a major cause of the planet’s problems.

Fianlly, we should deal with the main creators of global warming gas – methane!!! All cows across the entire world should be slaughtered (especially the fat ones) so as to prevent them emitting the current vast levels of methane gas. (This may cause issues with the Hindu population – but you cannot save the planet without upsetting a few people).

The skins of these cows could be used to clothe all the peoples of the world (except the Hindus) so as to reduce their need for central heating and thus provide a further benefit to mankind. Their meat could also be used to feed the starving and thus alleviate global poverty. (The Hindus would have to continue eating rice).

As concerned citizens of our planet, I feel certain that we will all get behind this plan to save civilization as we knew it.

You spelt civilization right :D You’re not a Frenchy afterall!
