At a certain point, even Euroloids tell Gaia to step off:
Like most Germans, brewer Helmut Erdmann is all for the fight against global warming. Unless, that is, it drives up the price of his beer.
This spectacularly-named fellow is also hostile to costal warming:
Volker Glutsch, 37, complained bitterly.
“It’s absolutely outrageous that beer is getting even more expensive,” Glutsch said, gulping down the last swig of his half-liter dark beer at lunch. “But there’s nothing we can do about it – except drinking less and that’s not going to happen.”
- Volker is not looking at the entire picture. Drinking beer, makes you fart and we all know what that does for Gaia. Hell I bet Volker is a meat eater too. More farts, Volker, more farts. Think.Posted by El Cid on 2007 06 01 at 01:02 PM • permalink

- Not to mention more peeing, causing greater loadings (and resultant power consumption) at our wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations.
Beer, the Anti-Gaia!

- No self-respecting German will ever accept meddling with Bier – global warmening be damned!
This just might be the thin edge of a mighty wedge of anti-Algorian resistance…

- I’m with Rebecca on this; they’ll get my beer when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Continuing down the article, they continue the BIG LIE, throwing out the line that biofuels are less polluting than fossil fuels. Ethanol is much worse as a polluter than gas, and your mileage goes to hell. Without subsidies, it wouldn’t be economical to produce, and it uses close to the same amount of energy to produce as it yields (using corn, sugar cane does much better, but you can’t grow it just anywhere). I’m not sure of the energy balance on producing biodesiel from plant oils, but I suspect the subsidies is the reason those are popular with farmers

Helmut Erdmann. What a beer hall putz. Listen up, folks (or perhaps that should be volk): just because global warming may be a spectre, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t going to cost you, once your politicians decide to “do” something. Do you really want to see this replaced by this?
- All this is making me thirsty.
(Reaches for refrigerator door, removes carbon maximized imported brew in non recyclable bottle, removes cap with bottle opener on bottom of flip flops, takes long drink and wonders what the eco warriors are drinking…. oh thats right carbon maximized San Pellegrino)Posted by alien kiwi on 2007 06 01 at 06:17 PM • permalink
- That Volker sounds like a true Aussie, born out of place.
I am reminded of a line from Dame Veronica Wedgewood’s book: The Thirty Years War. Describing Germany in 1618, she noted that one of the German Princes of the time founded a temperance society, but the first president died of drink.
