Seriously? Don’t they love to turn it back on us? Don’t’ eat ice cream. “If young people drank fewer latte’s they would be able to afford to buy a home. Makes me sick.
I appreciate your cartoon and the ironic inference that eating synthetic ice cream might be a panacea to solving global warming. Such reductive premises make me angry too.
That is exactly what I meant, Sid. I thought it may be just a little too obscure for some of my readers. That particular MP is renowned for being a climate change denialist, so I was already pretty unimpressed with his patronising attitude to the student protestors.
And with the ice-cream comment, he hit a further sore point with our family. We have been known to examine every bucket of ice-cream in the supermarket in the hopes of finding at least one made with real cream. There was one but they changed to inferior ingredients (and the packaging slightly), without letting on to customers that there was no longer cream in their formulation.
Excuses for the bigger problem not to be challenged by turning it around on something else. Vegan Ice cream it is then. What they gonna reflect to next? Feel and understand your anger. Keep strong and smiling.
I think those of us like me, who aren’t vegetarians, would be happy enough to cut back on dairy and animal proteins if it meant reducing emissions. The dairy industry may rue the day that the government MP opened his big mouth. Thanks for visiting.

On-line is a story, possiblely false, about cows wearing backpacks to collect their ventings of methane gas.

Haha, what a public service. Some politicians should do that. Extra-large backpacks required.
