What if governement were to ban ourdoor grilling for Global Warming

it would mean i would be in prison forever

wellllll......I noticed on the news today they just banned bonfires on beaches for that reason, so why not think grilling out is next??!?!?...Would I stop...sure....''and the dish ran away with the spoon''..

The Government can pry my grill from my COLD

DEAD

FINGERS!!!!

You must be joking-- outdoor grilling -- has virtually no measurable affect on GW.

Reducing soot from burning is our fastest & least expensive first step to combat global warming. Unfortunately it is primairily a developing nation issue, so the U.N. advocates insufficient CO2 emission cuts instead that fail to address the problem instead of pursuing the most easily addressed culprits: black soot emissions & global population growth.

Banning a small number of cooking fires in one country only would be yet another feel-good measure that would only mislead us into thinking we're doing something productive about the problem.

In the U.S., 30% of our air pollution currently arrives on the Pacific Coast from Asia. That is a far bigger problem to solve than backyard barbeques. U.S. companies cause the problem by allowing their suppliers to pollute in Asia. Out of sight, out of mind. Either they, or global governments, could resolve the problem in no time. Backyard chefs can not.

Wal-Mart alone could almost single-handedly resolve the problem by setting standards for air pollution, & for the mix of power used by their suppliers. Wal-Mart has more money, power, & influence than all but a few of the largest world governments. Wal-Mart does not just serve as a proxy for the problem, they r a major facilitator of the problem.

Let is focus the conversation on the real issues, not the totally ineffective & misleading feel-good responses like this backyard barbeque ban.

Study Identifies Contribution of Man-Made Soot to Warming in Greenland in the Early 20th Century

New study: Ordinary soot second biggest driver of climate change
http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2008/3/24/03319/6577
After carbon dioxide, the second largest contributor to global warming is ordinary soot, according to new research published Sunday in Nature Geoscience. So-called ''black carbon'' has up to 60 percent the warming effects of the more oft-noted culprit CO2.
The implication is fairly radical: Quickly reducing soot could have substantial short-term effects on the rate of climate change. Whereas CO2 molecules stay in that atmosphere for years, soot particles stay about a week.
(In 2006, U.S. EPA is Stephen Johnson released soot standards substantially weaker than his scientific advisers recommended.)
Since 40 percent of soot comes from power sources, mainly coal & oil, that also produce CO2, measures to reduce soot would likely reduce other GHGs as well.

Reducing Black Carbon, or Soot, May Be Fastest Strategy
for Slowing Climate Change
http://igsd.org/docs/BC%20Briefing%20Note%2027Mar08.pdf
Emissions from black carbon (BC), or soot, r the second largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, & reducing these emissions is the fastest strategy for slowing climate change. In some regions, such as the Himalayas, the impact of BC on melting snowpacks & glaciers may be equal to that of CO2.2 BC emissions also significantly contribute to Arctic ice-melt, & reducing such emissions may be “the most efficient way to mitigate Arctic warming that we know of.”3 Since 1950, developed countries have successfully reduced BC emissions by a factor of five, primarily to improve public health, & “technology exists for a drastic reduction of fossil fuel related BC” in the rest of the world.

The other 60 percent comes from burning biomass, mainly in the developing world, where a great deal of wood is burned for heating & cooking & forests r burned to clear them for agriculture.

Its our fault as Americans everything that goes wrong in this world. I guess Mars need to spend 45 trillion to fix their problem of climate change too. You stupid fools!

Then those freaks on talk radio - and people who actually believe what these morons say would actually be right for probably the very first time in recorded history.

The gov'ment is out to get you folks! Yes and it is run by activist judges and liberal media types!!!

Run! Lock up your children! The British are coming! The British are coming!

Give them time, fireplaces are a thing of the past in CA.

the real kicker? Wait till they tell you, you can not longer have children to fight 'gw'

it wont be long.

whatever. ban BBQ and outdoor grilling my foot!

I'd do it anyway -- f' em

global warming is a dangerous fraud on America.

That is a sick thing to think about, but sadly I would not be surprised if the left (thought police) tried to pull this one off.

I would never abide by it anyway. Let them do their worst.

I'd make a fortune building enclosures for ''indoor'' grilling.

I'd take my fine, and say ''F. U.'' to the government!

I think it would make for a pretty crappy Memorial day. But in all seriousness folks, not debunking global warming but the fact is we as humans have not been on the earth long enough to understand it is normal heating and cooling cycles. I do not think that an occasional bbq is going to make or break any human caused warming.
And besides, is not our government large enough, do we really need or want them telling us how to cook our food?

Eat more raw meat. It is easier to floss.

Thomas jerfferson once said a little revolution is good now and again.

It would be just like the gum'mint to take something away, even though it would not help anything. Just another way for government control into the smallest aspects of our lives.

What is next, will the use of stoves be outlawed too?

Would not have any effect, and we do not need to. The global average temperatures have been on a general decline since 1998.

I would make my last grill lighting a ceremonial burning of the last of my junk mail. If the government wants to mandate my cooking, they should do something to control all the credit card offers I get too. That stuff is wasteful as well.

I will stop my grilling as soon as all forms of automobile racing has been banned by law.
