Cool stuff.

What freaking planet do these idiots inhabit?

When they come to get my toothbrush they'll need to get my Glock first ....

[farlander]

Just refer to the Thomas Sowell thread.

Nutcases.

[TChris]

Notice the nice, liberty-friendly words like "forced", and "banished." Now, aren't you glad you supported the Kyoto treaty?

Households in 2020 could be purged of their modern luxuries and forced to revert to simpler standards of living unless action is taken now to reduce escalating levels of carbon dioxide emissions...

Oh really? I'd like to see them try.

[dirtboy]

Man-made Global WarmingTM is a MYTH!

To these folks, that is irrelevant.

They believe in their hearts that we should live diminished lives - "sustainable development" is their mantra, and if Global Warming doesn't alarm us into going there, they'll have another drum to beat five years hence. The end justifies the means...

[Little Ray]

Lucky for him they banned guns, eh?

[WKUHilltopper]

Wishful thinking from lunatics...pffft!

[Sting 11]

I've always thought toothbrushes were considered somewhat of a luxury in the UK...

[farlander]

...anti-social pieces of household equipment...

O yea bring on the socialism. Bring on the "we know what's good for you better than you". Bring on the "energy police". Bring on the "socially responsible".

What a crock of... I really shouldn't read this kind of stuff this early in the morning. Makes the coffe turn sour as my loathing meter blows the top.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"The Late Great Planet Earth" deja vu all over again redux one more time.

If crises do not exist, it is necessary to invent them.

[Restorer]

energy-consuming appliances such as fridge-freezers banished and replaced with cold rooms for food storage

Makes perfect sense. A room-sized refrigerator will obviously use a lot less energy.

[markman46]

if they really want to cut CO2,they can all stop breathing!!!, stupid UK enviro nuts

[Gone GF]

I don't know about carbon dioxide but I do know that the gas company just informed us that our monthly budget amount is going up 74 percent.

[Sofa King]

"When they come to get my toothbrush they'll need to get my Glock first ...."

They're working on that.

[pgkdan]

What a bunch of idiots. These are the ninnified children and grandchildren of the guys who were telling us in the 50's that we'd all have housecleaning robots, flying cars and personal jet packs. I like the older version better...they were just as wrong but at least they were optimists.

[Bigh4u2]

Yeah. It would be real interesting to see how they are going to dig 'food cellars' in the coastal areas.

ESPECIALLY New Orleans or Holland, which is BELOW sea level.

[tickmeister]

I was reading this with a straight face just for amusement until I hit the part about insulating houses with sheep's wool and had to bail out. This article defines imbecility.

[John Jorsett]

The UK is certainly high on my list of places where these sorts of measures would actually be tolerated. It amazes me the amount of crap the Brits are willing to take from their government as long as it's touted in the name of some higher social good like "safety" or "the environment.".
