Now It All Makes Sense

Proof that market forces can help the environment emerged today with the news that the Poodle Archipelago's greenhouse gas emissions have dropped by eighteen per cent since 1990, provided only that emissions from three major sources - aviation, shipping and imports - are ignored. The reduction comfortably exceeds the pathetically inadequate requirements of the Kyoto treaty, and is due entirely to market forces, namely a rise in coal prices coinciding with a fall in gas prices during 2007. No doubt this is why the Government intends to approve a new generation of coal-fired power stations to keep our carbon emissions more or less on target until we can switch to the new, clean, renewable isotope of uranium that will keep our Britishness glowing through the twenty-first century.
