The jig is up for the global warming hoax. Even the UN’s IPCC has admitted that the assumptions upon which liberals base their hysterical prognostications of doom are “implausible.” But it looks like word has yet to reach northern Europe. In Holland, cities have been banning advertisements for meat so as not to offend the global climate. Denmark’s largest city is taking the next predictable step by beginning to ban its consumption.

Typically of progressives, they will ban meat incrementally. Also typically, they are starting with those least able to push back. Copenhagen’s municipal guidelines call for nursing home residents to be limited to 2.8 ounces of beef, lamb, or veal per week.

As the New York Post notes,

That is less than the amount of beef in a standard McDonald’s Big Mac, which contains two 1.6-ounce beef patties — for a total of 3.2 ounces.

With moonbats, never ascribe to insanity what can be explained as sheer malice. Not even Copenhagen City Councilkook Birgitte Kehler Holst of the lefty Alternativet party could really believe imposing vegetarianism on the elderly will improve the weather. Her motive is to punish:

“Everyone, including the elderly, must contribute to achieving our climate goals,” Holst said at [a] city council meeting, adding, “It is precisely the generation that has screwed up the most.”

Her elders “screwed up” by building Denmark into a wealthy country after surviving the Nazis. A high standard of living makes climate cultists angry.
