Global warmists propose mass killing of animals

The Australian government is considering a proposal to shoot feral camels "from helicopters or four-wheel-drives" purportedly to reduce carbon emissions.  The Australian reports:

One camel is estimated to emit about a tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent a year, measured as 45kg of methane, and they each eat about a tonne of vegetation.

Each camel's death is estimated to yield an "emissions avoidance benefit" of about 15 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Let us hope that environmentalists never calculate the "emissions avoidance benefit" of shooting humans.
