I'd like to meet the termite who passes wind like a cow    No, on second thoughts, maybe I wouldn't

The Australian Government's effort to comprehensively account for all greenhouse gas emissions has now turned its attention to the tiniest of creatures - termites


While this appears to be a bit of nonsense on first reading it does show the possibilities for chaos and sheer stupidity when lawmakers embark on such a course.

This is the natural consequence of the 'green' debate and its ill-considered and premature conclusions being taken as the the word from on high

It's about time lawmakers got real and started looking at the problem with a degree of good sense.   Why don't they just instruct  people over certain age to stop breathing - that would solve several problems at a stroke
