Act on CO2: Reduce Britain’s Carbon Footprint by Halting Immigration!
By Chris Brown — Astute visitors to this site will, of course, be aware of the Government’s “Act on CO2” campaign whose sometime erroneous advertisements have been aired on television of late.
A case in point is their plea for car owners to drive five fewer miles per week to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from their vehicle exhausts. We could, of course, make much of the hypocrisy of a government that whilst imploring the taxpaying public to reduce their motoring sends much of its delegation to the recent Copenhagen Climate Conference by the worse form of transportation, in terms of CO2 generation, possible — namely jet airliner!
However, we won’t dwell on that today. Instead we’ll direct our attention to another example of government CO2 hypocrisy — mass immigration.
Correct us if we are wrong but don’t recent arrivals to our country avail themselves of electricity in its many uses? This being the very same electricity that the Government tells us we need to reduce our consumption of, as its production involves the creation of considerable quantities of carbon dioxide?
Could it be that the Government actually believes that immigration and energy demand are not linked in the same way as they appear to believe that there is no link between immigration and increased housing demand?
Furthermore, and more to the point, surely there is a direct link between immigration and the increase in vehicle usage?
Surely it is an inconvenient truth that many immigrants, once established in the country through the provision of Government provided taxpayers’ money or from other sources of income, avail themselves of a motorcar and hence “contribute” to this country’s carbon-footprint?
So, we muse, instead of wasting our tax money on producing, often erroneous, advertisements having the purpose of persuading the taxpayer to reduce mileage and hence carbon dioxide emissions, that a far more effective means of achieving the same result would be to put a complete block on immigration.
You know it makes sense — even if they don’t! Act on CO2 — Stop Immigration!
