Re: Walking to the shops ‘damages planet more than going by car’
Yes, a silly article, but no more silly than the incomplete analysis that gave us the fiscal stupidity of recycling, or the incomplete analysis that Al Gore wants to shove down our throats.
In fact the article is so bad that it might be intentionally so, to be followed up with a more complete analysis and parallels to the GW hysteria.

The planet is rigged against itself. Solution: explode the Earth.

Re: Walking to the shops ‘damages planet more than going by car’
[ QUOTE ]
Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby. and “The troubling fact is that taking a lot of exercise and then eating a bit more food is not good for the global atmosphere. Eating less and driving to save energy would be better.” [/ QUOTE ] Cliffnotes : We are over-eating. Clarification: The west is eating so much more than needed, that it overcompensates for whatever undernourishment is suffered by the third world. Addendum : Food production itself consumes so much energy and is the cause of so much pollution only because feeding people in a healthy way and JUST enough is NO LONGER its purpose. That's true for the last hundred two hundred years or so.It used to be otherwise for hundreds of thousands of years.
