Assuming the article has it's facts correct (I don't have a link to a native source article and don't know French), how much CO2 will the helicopter pump out as they look for those rogue BBQ parties???

[Dan Evans]

These greedy government control freaks will be taxing every breath we take if they are not stopped.

[Jeff Chandler]

I’ll give up my grilling when they pry my hot burnt burgers from my cold, dead fingers.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Europe pinglist.

Must be a considerable amount of barbecuing in Belgium for it to be worthwhile to expend all the CO2 from the helicoptor to monitor for illicit barbecuing.

$26.71 US for me to char my burgers? That’ll put a crimp on the old food budget. Maybe I can purchase some cheeseburger credits from Algore...

[Frank_2001]

Imagine if they tried something like that in Texas, hehe;)

[LIConFem]

I wanna go live on another planet, just to get away from this kind of stupidity. It’s spreading like the plague down here.

[modest proposal]

i’d like to see them try and put a tax on barbecuing in alabma

and even more amusing would be them trying to enforce one

[SledgeCS]

Ouch I would need a pay raise if it is 20 euro per grilling session.

20.00 EUR = 26.6452 USD

[Fierce Allegiance]

Ain’t no way this will fly in the USA!

[Constantine XIII]

It’s official:

Belgium is WORSE THAN HITLER.

[Constitution Day]

I’d like to see someone try that here in the South.

[SledgeCS]

Here is another thought. How could they tell the diff between grill types. Charcoal puts out more smoke than propane and electric puts out none

[Publius6961]

Belgium to impose tax on barbequing to fight global warming...

... how much CO2 will the helicopter pump out as they look for those rogue BBQ parties???

Democracy (Freedom) by oppression... coerced to conform to the arbitrariness of the bureaucracy... neurotic, pathologically criminal, benevolent, doesn't matter...

My first impulse was to post my usual forum laugh...
On brief reflection, I got cold chills.

[P-40]

The article does not say if you still have to pay the tax if you sequester carbon in trees you grow yourself and then release it while cooking.

[garyhope]

Yep, that ought to do it.

Thank God the world is saved!!

Gore, the big bore will be pleased.

[Dr. Zzyzx]

Gee, this would have been a good Scrappleface if it weren’t true!

[ladtx]

Oh the humanity. The loss of one of the great cultural icons of our time belgian BBQ. Snicker

[Publius6961]

Is it possible for an entire country to be both delusional and suicidally insane?

Is this Darwinism in its ultimate form?

Belgium has been a cartoonish country for a number of years now...

[EagleUSA]

No surprise. This is typical of what the entire global warming scam is all about — food for socialists to generate tax-based revenue — just follow the money.
