Haha! We are all just doomed. My very existence threatens everyone else's existence. What's the solution to that? Mankind should just go quietly into that good night.

Whatever.

Can't you guys see it's a hoax?!

Somebody's trying to make a Fool's Day joke a little too late!

Walking does more than driving to cause global warming, a leading
environmentalist has calculated.

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.

The sums were done by Chris Goodall, campaigning author of How to Live a
Low-Carbon Life, based on the greenhouse gases created by intensive beef
production. “Driving a typical UK car for 3 miles [4.8km] adds about 0.9 kg
[2lb] of CO2 to the atmosphere,” he said, a calculation based on the
Government’s official fuel emission figures. “If you walked instead, it
would use about 180 calories. You’d need about 100g of beef to replace those
calories, resulting in 3.6kg of emissions, or four times as much as driving.
