NHS Hospitals will take meat off menus in bid to cut carbon

Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. Come on guys, get that black hole[^] machine fired up so we can stop all the non-sense once and for all.

Time to fire up the barbie.

I wonder if any high carbon pharmaceuticals are being considered?

Brilliant! The ovens still have to run, but now we have a few more cows that remain upright and farting. This little geo-nazi hobby has gotten WAY out of hand. And if I see one more Nickelodeon "Big Green Help" propoganda short (commercial) I may go postal.

An awfully lot of NHS provided foods are imported. Many travel thousands of miles before they arrive on the dinner plate. Understandably, if you buy local you will reduce the carbon footprint. The NHS will not be banning meat from its menu's. It is political to reduce meat consumption without overriding medical opinion per patient, and that would never be allowed.

In article it says "phone-in GP surgeries", not being familiar with the NHS, that term has an ominous implication which I am sure is false, what is it?

GP is a family doctor. This "phone-in GP surgeries" is an enhancement to existing doctor's activities at their practice. To help reduce hospital outpatients visits and so on. This NHS shouldn't be but is a very political football, and more so when you consider that the UK's National Health Service is Britain's (possibly Europe's) biggest employer, and consequently, one of the biggest drain on Government (read Taxpayers) revenue. Well, it was one of the biggest drains until the banking system needed bailing-out.

Now, they may start selectively killing patients to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

When I see new articles like that, I wonder when Logan will show up at my door... of course that is just science fiction.
