Global Warming: Caused By Women Who Like Men With Sports Cars!
Well, thank heavens for Professor Sir David King, the British government's chief scientist. He has pinpointed that which must be taken away from society if global warming is to be addressed. So all you women who like men with sports cars have been the problem all along.
Professor Sir David King said governments could only do so much to control greenhouse gas emissions and it was time for a cultural change among the British public.
And he singled out women who find supercar drivers "sexy", adding that they should divert their affections to men who live more environmentally-friendly lives.
His comments were greeted with anger by sports car drivers who insisted that their vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions were tiny compared with those from four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Sir David, who is due to retire as the UK's Chief Scientific Adviser at the end of the year, said individuals needed to change their behaviour.
"I was asked at a lecture by a young woman about what she could do and I told her to stop admiring young men in Ferraris," he said.
"What I was saying is that you have got to admire people who are conserving energy and not those wilfully using it."
This comes as rather a surprise to the people at Ferrari who only produce a worldwide annual total of fewer than 5,600 of their automobiles. It is probably for the best that Professor Sir David King is set to retire before his brain completely ossifies. He must be unaware that Ferrari passengers do their bit to cut carbon consumption in other ways. For instance, some wear no clothing.

Why does it seem that the nuttiest global warmers generally come from Britain?
