The government-commissioned study says the old, inefficient "beer fridges" that one in three Canadian households use to store their Molson and Labatt's, contribute significantly to global warming by guzzling gas- and coal-fired electricity."People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles," British environmental consultant Joanna Yarrow tells New Scientist magazine. "Clearly the environmental implications of having a frivolous luxury like a beer fridge are not hitting home.
...University of Alberta researcher Denise Young, who led the study, suggests that provincial authorities hold beer-fridge buy-backs or round-ups to eliminate the threat — methods that Americans use to get guns off the streets.
If these scientists......(?) are concerned about beer drinkers and other sources contributing to global warming, I suggest inviting them to attend a NASCAR race. But, they shouldn't expect any gun buy-backs, and they might not want to try to take their beers from them when asking for the guns.
