Blame the kettle for climate changes

Nope, its not the gas drinking SUVs. And its not even the air-conditions or the cheap flights.

Scientists are now saying that a new destructive agent of climate change is something much closer to us - the electric kettle.

Media reports say that the new designs of these kettles are made to hold more water and boil faster. While for most of us, that sounds like good news, it is actually harmful to our environment.

What happens is this. These kettles use more electricity and produce more greenhouse pollution than the older versions.

Scientists say features such as hot plates that keep boiled water warm, electronic whistles and even the traditional wide-bottomed shape all waste energy.

So to do our bit to keep the environment clean, do we have to throw out the kettles and start igniting our owens a few times a day for the hot cuppa?

Or are we to give up the good old tea all together?

This is ridiculous. I just hope no one gets serious about this kettle business. I dont want some eager minister to dictate my drinking habits. The right place to look will be the industries which are still not going green, and maybe limit the production of cars, especially the high powered ones.

Dont touch my kettle mate.
