Of all the asinine measures the global-warming alarmists have foisted on the world, this may be the stupidest yet...BRUSSELS, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - The government of Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia, which has a population of about 4 million, has approved a tax on barbequing, local media reported.
Experts said that between 50 and 100 grams of CO2, a so-called greenhouse gas, is emitted during barbequing. Beginning June 2007, residents of Wallonia will have to pay 20 euros for a grilling session.
The local authorities plan to monitor compliance with the new tax legislation from helicopters, whose thermal sensors will detect burning grills.
Did anybody bother to ask how much CO2 those helicopters produce while they are in hot pursuit of scofflaw backyard grillers?
