Petrol pumps in Britain should carry climate change warning labels akin to the legally-mandated health warnings on cigarette packages, a group of scientists have said.
In a blog post for the British Medical Journal (BMJ), British, American, and Indian professionals from within healthcare and environmental studies have claimed that petrol pumps, airline tickets, and even energy bills should come with “warning labels” which “state clearly that continuing to burn fossil fuels worsens the climate emergency”.
The opinion piece, published on Tuesday, draws parallels to the gory pictures of blackened lungs or rotten teeth now displayed on cigarette packages, implying that a similar tactic should be employed at “points of sale of fossil fuels”. The piece suggests that if petrol pumps and gas bills similarly use graphic imagery, “these warnings can change attitudes and behaviour”, consigning driving petrol cars and keeping one’s house at a comfortable temperature to the realms of other socially unacceptable addictions.

Maybe all citizens 21 and under should be banned from driving gas engine cars and the age should go up one year every year. That would cause the younger generation to stop reliance on car transportation if that is what they want.
So scientifically speaking, IT'S ALL BULLSH!T.
Uh, there is NO climate emergency....sorry.
Then all home charger ports and most public charger ports should ad well, as they are using coal and ng plants to produce their electricity.
Just can’t give up the narrative, can they?
Anthropogenic global warming is a MYTH, fed by “studies” that apply projections and assumptions not supported either by logic or by an even remotely reliable source of data.
Carbon dioxide, the compound to which these dilettantes try to attribute to an accumulation of latent heat in the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, simply is not capable of being that change agent. In the first place, its concentration is far too low to affect heat accumulation or loss by any measurable standards. And secondly, as “greenhouse gases” go, the concentration of water vapor, a MUCH more potent agent of heat exchange capability, is from thirty to a coupe of hundred times as concentrated at any given time, as carbon dioxide.
Plus, the water molecule, H2O, has a unique quality of being able to exist in three different states of matter at one time, as a solid (ice), as liquid water, and as water vapor gas, at the so-called “triple point” under terrestrial atmospheric conditions, defined as 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Centigrade. There is a whole body of physics and chemistry study out there relating to this unique capability of the water molecule, and it is one of the most powerful of all the atmospheric constituents in regulating weather and meteorological phenomenon.
REAL science is never settled.
These “scientists” should all be marched in front of a firing squad!
I. Will. Deface. Them.
...not just “marched in front of”.
People with PhD in Science degrees should be required to wear jester hats with bells.
Even in the shower, to remind them of how serious they are.
Research paid for by taxpayers, no doubt.
Just thought I’d drop this in :

New Law Requires You To Listen To Greta Thunberg Lecture Before Purchasing Gasoline
U.S.—A series of new bills working their way through state legislatures in New York, California, Oregon, Hawaii, and several other progressive states will require you to listen to a Greta Thunberg lecture before purchasing gasoline.
Motorists will be required to watch a 20-minute lecture by the 16-year-old climate activist before they purchase gallons and gallons of harmful fossil fuels.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
By C.S. Lewis
Any "scientist" who says so should be required to wear a B***S**** warning on his or her face.
I’d say OK — I’d trade that warning label for this one, to be placed on all college websites:
“Attendance at this institution will most likely cost you your ability to discern fact from fiction, plus an arm and a leg.”
‘In a blog post for the British Medical Journal (BMJ), British, American, and Indian professionals from within healthcare and environmental studies have claimed that petrol pumps, airline tickets, and even energy bills should come with “warning labels” which “state clearly that continuing to burn fossil fuels worsens the climate emergency”.’
Oh great. The next thing to be banned will be farting under penality of death and I’ll be a goner.
The warning labels would be wrong. There is no such thing as a fossil fuel.
Label should read as follow: ‘Morons posing as scientists, like that moron Bill Nye, believe that you living as a modern human will cause you to kill the planet, which real scientists, who study the earth, will tell you that the sun has more affect on the planet than you.’
The global economy is imploding and there are still idiots out there blathering on about climate change.........
So should each "scientist" on their backs!They do more damage than faulty ignition systems or leaky mufflers.
