What puts out more co2 ? Barbecues ? Or the Barbecue police's helicopter with thermal sensing.

Amazing and scary. In Europe they are used to crazy taxes, lets hope it never happens here but it just may happen in "The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia".

" you drive a car, i'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, i'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold i'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, i'll tax your feet."

I don't know if it ever happened but at one time CA was talking of requiring scrubbers on bakery smokestacks, seems the smell of baking bread contains many pollutants

Cool April Fools

I read the article in question and apparently it was an April Fool's joke done by the media outlet. So it states in the article printed the next day.

I was just wondering how in the world you could tax BBQ's but now outdoor fires. I mean it's basically the same thing right? Imagine the beach patrol in CA if this was ever an actual law
