Absolutely Fabulous

Joanna Lumley, the implausibly posh old tart from AbFab, has taken up the climate change cudgels, and she displays the same grasp of this complex global issue as that enunciated by her fellow thespians Penn, Robbins et al.
Livestock farming has many other adverse effects on the global environment, being the largest source of water pollution and degradation of coastal areas and coral reefs. In some parts of the world overgrazing is harming biodiversity and pasture lands; elsewhere it is turning more and more pastures to desert.
Blah blah blah. It’s the usual alrmist tripe but it is interesting for one reason - she’s strayed way off the ‘blame oil’ reservation, and it’ll be interesting to see whether and for how long this ‘new’ slant on globaloney warmingism survives eco-politburo scrutiny.
Blaming Exxon is one thing, blaming poor peasants trying to eke out a living with a few cattle, while CheneyHalliburtonBusHitler Inc. continue to ply their deviant trade is quite another.
