Prisoners Breathing And Showering Brings On Global Warming
GLOBAL warming news on the BBC that “en-suite showers in prisons have boosted emissions” of C02.
One solution is to hang prisoners, and so reduce their CO2 emissions. This is something the Sun is supporting, backed by 99 per cent of its readers. If the final one per cent can be persuaded that killing inmates can give Gaia a fighting chance, the plan may come to fruition. (Just remember to recycle the rope.)
For now, though, the BBC reports that carbon emissions within former Home Office bodies, including the prison service, rose from 28,237 tonnes in 2005-06 to 28,925 tonnes in 2006-07.
We learn: “The rise has been attributed to the increase in the prison population and the provision of in-cell showers.”
Readers on the BBC websit are reminded that, “Last year, Prime Minister Gordon Brown committed the UK to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 60% before 2050 to help tackle global warming.”
Communal showers should be considered, so too the big bath. Or what about dispensing with showers altogether and hermitically sealing prison cells to prevent the escape of not only villains but so too their foul air?
