Fashion has taken an ugly, apocalyptic turn. Models have been singled out, despite the evidence that most don’t eat flatulence-producing beef or any food at all really, by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime as major contributors to global warming due to their Colombian-forest-destroying cocaine use.
“Europeans know they shouldn’t buy blood diamonds or clothes made by slaves in sweatshops,” said Antonio Maria Costa, chief of the UN Office on Drugs and Drime. “Yet with cocaine the opposite occurs. Worse still, models who wouldn’t dare to wear a tiger fur coat show no qualms about flaunting their cocaine use.”
Not only can they not eat, the UN government is asking them to stop snorting. According to the Mirror News UK, cocaine usage is devastating Colombian rainforests because trees were being removed to make room for coca plants.
Since the non-dictator Hugo Chavez, a neighbor to Colombia, apparently has no control over aiding South America in halting their destruction of the planet, another move by the Venezuelan…um…Ambassador Sean Penn is no doubt proud of, the only other move to save the planet is to stop the models.
Group chairman Keith Vaz said: “We were horrified to learn for every few lines of cocaine snorted in a London club, four square metres of rainforest is destroyed.”
London clubbers are also being targeted. And the home affairs select committee members are asking the police to get tougher, use more hand-held drug tracing machines, and hunt down the models and clubbers.
This call to action comes, not after the 235 sudden cocaine-related deaths in 2008, the fact cocaine contributes to heart disease, brain erosion, and is overall just an unhealthy lifestyle choice and physically unattractive when coating your nostrils, but as a desperate plea to save the Colombian rainforest.

This is about the tenth thing I’ve read in as many years that is causing the destruction of the rain forests. Shouldn’t it be gone by now?

This is one of the most stupid things i have ever heard. Really, that is all I can say.

The destruction of the rain forests is not what is causing Global Warming.
You are.

I hate to tell you Klo, but cocaine users are being blamed for global warming now.

Nah KLO, you’re wrong, as usual
Pulpwood is specifically grown for paper, and that is why this notion that forests are “mowed down” to produce paper is a complete fiction. It’s more environmental mythology. The only places where forests are mowed down to produce paper are in non-developed countries, which is exactly the type of places that environmentalism wishes to force us all into.
Mandatory recycling, moreover, as its very name implies, ignores the law of supply and demand. That is why so much recycled paper is ultimately landfilled. When, for instance, New Jersey “passed legislation that required every community in the state to recycle, the recycling rate for newspapers jumped from 50 percent to 62 percent. This, in turn, created such a glut that the price of newsprint fell $45 per ton to minus $25 per ton!” (Facts not Fear.) You read that correctly: recyclers had to pay $25 per ton for someone to haul the newspapers away.
In Europe, where the recycling craze has really run amok, the German government (e.g.) required businesses to take back from customers and recycle all forms of packaging, including bottles, cans, containers, cartons, and sacks. In no time, the (nonprofit) company that collects and sorts the items was $412 million in debt, and the government admitted that tons and tons of the material would be landfilled anyway, because there wasn’t enough demand for that kind of supply.
As Doctor William Rathje (of the University of Arizona, and arguably the world’s foremost scientist on rubbish) points out in his excellent book Rubbish, “paper accounts for 40 percent or more of landfill volume. There simply isn’t a market for this amount of recycled newspaper. Nor are enough mills to process all the paper that could be collected. In addition, de-inking newspaper, which is necessary in order to recycle it, creates a potentially toxic sludge, which sludge, toxic or not, must somewhere be landfilled” (William Rathje, Rubbish).

Hey Klo-less, quit reading the magazines at the barber shop and buy something current.
