Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around various personal and proposed actions to mitigate anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Participants share their individual efforts, suggest unconventional taxation methods, and engage in humorous exchanges regarding cultural differences related to terminology and food.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their personal efforts to reduce waste and energy consumption, attributing AGW to others.
  • Another participant humorously claims to refabricate oxygen from recycled carbon dioxide, mentioning the byproduct of coal.
  • A proposal for a "fresh air realization tax" on animals based on methane production is introduced, with suggestions for monitoring through technology.
  • Some participants discuss the implications of such a tax, including potential taxation on certain foods and the evolutionary impact on methane-producing animals.
  • There are humorous exchanges about cultural differences in terminology, particularly regarding the word "fag" and its various meanings in American and British contexts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion features multiple competing views, particularly regarding the effectiveness and practicality of proposed taxation methods and the humorous interpretations of terminology. No consensus is reached on the seriousness or feasibility of the suggestions made.

Contextual Notes

Some proposals lack clarity on implementation details, such as monitoring methane emissions from animals and the cultural implications of terminology used in different regions.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in unconventional approaches to environmental issues, cultural differences in language, and humorous takes on serious topics may find this discussion engaging.

I mean i buy in bulk containers, like 3ltr bottles of squash, 800grm slabs of butter to minimise packaging/transport, do not have news papers, use about 1600watts to heat my house, Have traveled about 600 miles since last August, my dust bin takes 6 weeks to fill, etc, etc, so it must be you guys causing AGW, please stop it i hate hot snow.

I have been personally refabricating all my oxygen from recycled carbon dioxide molecules. It's difficult at first, but you quickly get the hang of pulling the carbon atom away from the O2. Side benefit, you get this huge pile of powdery coal which can be burned (very cleanly, I might add) in my slightly altered wood stove.

The recaptured vapor is kept in a special hopper, from which I weekly collect my new supply of carbon dioxide.

I don't know why more people don't do this.
 
As it has been shown that methane is a far worse green house gas than CO2, i propose a
fresh air realisiation tax, any anmial over producing will be levied at at higher tax rate, dependent a on cfpd ,cubic feet per day levy, it will be difficult to monitor at the start, but when every animal and bog is fitted with a mfart chip we will be able to hold the problem in.

Yeah, I say we get rid of all the other taxes and be honest about what taxes are. Just tax the people themselves.
 
The only problem i see so far is getting the results of the mfart chip broadcast world wide, mostly it could be done over the mobile phone net work, but that would still leave some hot spots.

Does that mean curry and baked beans will be taxed like beer and fags?
At least sprouts will be banned!

The fart tax would be the major means of taxing animals, in the long run it would favour an evolutionary non methane producer.

As a note to Amercian readers - taxing fags isn't as bad as it sounds, it's just an extra amount added to musical theatre tickets and hair products for men.
However we also like to advise any Americans visiting England because the English "love to eat faggots covered in gravy" that they may be dissapointed!

Ever since the faggots migrated to populated areas they have become a less popular food source, ever tried shooting a sweetheart in a crowded bus station.

Asking a Sep "can I bum a fag off you?" is a definite way to get raised eyebrows.
