Carbon dioxide doomsday cultists lure schoolchildren with candy

Energy-saving pupils receive sweet reward (From Oxford Mail)
PUPILS have been handed a year’s supply of chocolate for their energy-saving efforts.

The Sheriff of Oxford Jean Fooks yesterday gave out the 365 Fairtrade bars to youngsters at Matthew Arnold School, in Cumnor Hill.

The school saved 67 per cent of its energy bill by switching off unused appliances in a competition run by local charities Student Switch Off and People and Planet.

Pupil Arya Abaee, 13, said: “It was great fun to get all the chocolate and we’re all really pleased we managed to save so much electricity.”

People and Planet spokesman Jamie Clarke said: “The School Switch Off competition was a great way for schools to cut their energy bills, while students had fun tackling climate change.”

Without urgent action, climate change will devastate life on earth. Hundreds of millions of people, particularly the world’s poorest and most vulnerable will be put at severe risk of drought, floods, starvation, and disease. Up to one third of land-based species could face extinction by the middle of the century.
