A new report, published today, which features input from 13 universities and 12 research bodies, including the University of East Anglia, urges the new government to break this country's “fossil fuel addiction”.

Switching from petrol or diesel powered vehicles and cutting the number of short haul flights are key policies together with cutting livestock numbers, which generates 82 percent of green house gases in the agricultural sector.

But Brian Finnerty, regional spokesman for the National Farmers' Union (NFU), said while they support the view that farming has a part to play in carbon reduction, they take exception to the assumption that livestock production should reduce by 80 percent.

When will the Brits march on EAU and shut it down? Or, do they want to live like serfs again?

Ya know, there is no free speech rights in Britain, they could simply ban East Anglia University from doing any more press releases......

The WWII generation of food rationing and sacrifice is dying off. Post WWII generations are quickly losing the *good manners* that were a part of British upbringing - however the public is still has the *serf* mindset toward the BBC, Government and educated elite.

Deteriorating medical care has not caused riots - as long as the Government provides housing, welfare and other subsidies for single mothers and unemployed youth.

Depriving the public of cheap public transportation, fast food and polyester might cause protests.
