There could be some confusion

People who haven't followed the debate on climate change here in the UK may be forgiven for getting a little confused. Today's news tells us that a shortage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is about to hit the carbonated drinks market - just as the World Cup takes off! Apparently, the factories that manufacture the stuff have either broken down or are up for routine servicing. Sometime next week, fizzy drinks may run out. The Campaign for Real Ale assures us that this will not affect real beer, so there's some good news. My fear is that Donald Trump hears about it. Quite apart from being another failure located in Europe, he, in his sincere stupidity may conclude that a vast reduction in CO2 emissions is being achieved without any need to act on his part.
