The expression "stick that in your pipe and smoke it" is not meant to be taken literally, but refers to accepting a bitter-tasting truth due to the evidence supporting it and in spite of your preconceptions. g/kWh stands for "Grams per Kilowatt Hour" which is a metric measurement of CO2 output from electrical energy sources (such as nuclear power stations). I did not wish to insult anybody with my post, merely to investigate the claims that CO2 production by mankind is the greatest (sometimes even sole) cause of climate change. I stress that this is NOT a scientific study, and should not be taken to be one; however, it does provide some figures which have been obtained from external, independent sources that corroborate my assertion that 17 and a half non-energy-saving lightbulbs are equivalent in CO2 production to a single cow. I am sorry if you still feel offended. Incidentally, my sister is a smoking vegetarian, so I am offended by your claim that it is "a habit of the devil". Fortunately, this is the internet, so I have learnt to take everything with a pinch of salt. Hello again Douglas, my own resident Troll, I’m flattered!

I find your comment about Vegetarians very offensive as I have never smoked in my life! I find it to be a habit of the devil. You should think before you type such things as us vegetarian non-smokers would not like to be associated with the smoking vegetarians. Also I'm not very good at Maths so can I just ask is that a metric or imperial measurement of energy? Hi I was googling for vegetarian durger recipies and stumbled on your blog.
