Study: Canadian Beer Drinkers Threaten Planet

Can you believe that line, Gilly?   

Talk about Global-Warming scaremongers running amok!

Scientists have found a new threat to the planet: Canadian beer drinkers.

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. This research helps inform people — let's hope it has an effect."

The problem is that the beer fridges are mostly decades-old machines that began their second careers as beverage dispensers when Canadians upgraded to more energy-efficient models to store whatever Canadians eat besides doughnuts and poutine.

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.

And this study was paid for by Canadian's Tax Dollars!  Go figure...

I think they should hold a beer drinking contest to eliminate all that global warming causes.

[G-man]

The real reason for "global warming"

OK MOM...  How about a comprimise?  You bop her in the nose, and our Canuck friends stuff her useless carcass into one of these fridges?  Hehe, that's one way to stop Global Warming!!!!  <EG>

But then our beer will get warm. Think of the beer man, it's what's most important.

Beer-fridge? Why not just use a normal fridge when exist in very energy-efficient versions, at least here.

I dunno, Frank.  It must be a Canadian thing.  After all, it is well below freezing right now in Canada and they really need beer heaters to keep their beer from freezing!

Frank, a beer fridge is generally an old one kept in the garage where it can be set for the perfect temp for beer (OF COURSE) and so someone won't be cluttering it up with useless junk like food and milk.

You guy's don't have beer fridges? Uh-oh. There's something us Canadians need to teach you. The importance of beer, right down to the proper storage.

Well actually Gilly my boy, some folks like myself find beer more tasty if you just keep it room temp on the back porch--COLD beer seems so uncivilized

NOOOOO!!! You didn't mean it!! Say you didn't mean it!!

[TheSoccerMom]

Tsk, tsk....  I can see people have been brought up without life's TRUE essentials.  What a heartbreaking thought!!   

Airtac is right, it's the old junker that goes in the garage (OR HANGAR), and food, milk and ANY food items are strictly FORBIDDEN. 

And yes, when it's 40 below zero, it DOES keep your beer from freezing, and exploding all over the damned place.   

We didn't have heat in our bedrooms, or a telephone in the house, but we had a Beer Fridge.   

You gotta have priorities...........

I personally think a life essential is flying And of course the CW Forum and chat-room
