Dead people causes Global Warming

[Deleted]

So I was looking at the local news on the BBC website and found this article....

Bereaved families in part of West Yorkshire could face delays in arranging cremations while equipment is installed to cut mercury emissions.

Huddersfield Crematorium will be closed between 20 August to 6 September as filters which cut emissions from tooth fillings are installed.

Kirklees Council said it was working with neighbouring crematoria to try to keep delays to a minimum.

Legislation requires all authorities to cut emissions by 50% by December.

A spokesman for Kirklees Council said the existing flue system and associated fans would have to be stripped out and there would be "considerable building work and disruption".

Councillor Peter McBride, cabinet member for the council's Streetscene service, said: "This is essential work and will ensure that the crematorium meets all environmental requirements.

"Dewsbury Moor Crematorium will be operating as normal through the closure period at Huddersfield and Kirklees Bereavement Services will liaise with all crematoria in neighbouring authorities to ensure any funeral delays are kept to a minimum."

So I did a bit of googling and the only thing I managed to find was this comment...

The Australian Government’s Commissioner for Climate Change and Global Warming campaigner, Professor Tim Flannery says mercury tooth fillings should be removed from corpses before they are cremated.

I loved his solution to this...

You just need a pair of pliers.

So the moral of the story? Look after your teeth kids. (or don't die )

So it isnt actually global warming but instead just controlling the heavy metal emission from the chimney. In the city near where i live had a factory once which used a lot of lead and its soot was full of it. It was so bad that people who lived near it had to peel their apples because there was a massive amount of lead in it. It was quickly closed down once the people there found out.

Sounds like a crazy liberal agenda attempting to bankrupt the country by overtaxing and shutting down business all because some "scientists" said that lead is bad.

I see it.

Removing the teeth before cremation is a fair solution... You're not going to be needing those teeth if your body is being reduced to ash anyway...

[Imnick]

Stop dying people, why are you being so inconsiderate to the environment?
In my day we didn't just go around dying all the time, kids these days are so selfish.

Try getting the relatives to agree to that.

Its usually not a problem when its gold fillings :P

The body is on its way to be cremated... It's not like removing the teeth will cause it to be aesthetically unappealing :P

Tbh humans just need to kill themselves. That will stop global warming.
Lets start with the politicians?
