Global warming is now such a serious threat to mankind that climate change experts are calling for Second World War-style rationing in rich countries to bring down carbon emissions.

Hehe, you really think China would get on board. I believe they now exceed the US in emitting CO. India will exceed us in a few years and Russia is somewhere close.

I'm still developing my camp up in Maine. I wonder if that qualifies me for some lucrative carbon credits!

So he had to fly from the UK to Cancun, Mexico just to say this?

Seems a tad hypocritical...

So does this rationing apply to this clown or is he exempt because he's "an important member of the climate research community"?

Oh and lets be honest here, they're not in Cancun during the end of November to discus climate change, they're there for the better weather and vacation time.

Welcome to the modern world. Buying groceries emits more carbon than my lungs do in one day of operation.
