CO2 shortage: Food industry calls for government action

This can't be true, of course.

All the cool kids tell us CO2 is a pollutant? How can there be a shortage of a pollutant?

Oh boy, another thread just for you to show off your science degree from some creationist university/theme park! :lol:

And here comes T, falling over his fat feet to display his ignorance by not having anything like a point that doesn't rely on a lie and a personal insult, again.

ROSS CLARK: How did this nightmare of running out food and drink due to CO2 shortages of happen?

Fizz crisis: It's the big game this weekend and England's nearly out of lager and fizzy drinks due to the CO2 shortage and planning a barbecue could be difficult due to a chicken shortfall

Fans face some flat World Cup celebrations as beer taps could be turned off
CO2 shortage means lager and fizzy drinks supplies are in danger of running out
Publicans said they are running out of brands including John Smith's Extra Smooth, Amstel, Foster's and Strongbow

This may be a kind of trivial 'joke' for that. Beer ferments to make its own CO2. I'm assuming the intent was to point out the shortage of making beer QUICKLY for their 'football'(soccer) season.

As to the cows, the guns may be using CO2 but they can alter this to regular strong air compressors or even possible electro-magnetic ones. Any 'concern' is momentary if the industry has set themselves to ONLY CO2 that may DELAY the process momentarily until they adjust. It's not a real crisis though.

I'm guessing it may be used as a 'supportive' indirect rhetorical piece to defend allowing an increase in CO2 emissions elsewhere. Perhaps they are resisting Carbon caps or some similar environmental restrictions on competing industries in England.
