People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one liter of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns. Since man-made "global warming" is a fairy tale, I say: Bollocks! Discuss.

Are you aware that climate models haven't proven anything...ever?

By the way, weather prediction nowadays is accurate enough for energy companies to use their data to predict demand.
