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.

I’m sure you’re very impressed with Windows 7 and I’m glad you’ve found an operating system that you like, but if you’re only here to sing Windows’ praises, then you might ask Microsoft for a cut of their marketting budget. Linux doesn’t have a marketting budget as it is not-for-profit, so I promote it as an alternative voluntarily. Microsoft are a profit-making organisation, and don’t really need you to voluntarily market their product as they already hold a monopoly on the Operating System market.

Good day to you, sir.
