The UK's "environment czar" doesn't want people to go anywhere

UKDamn the man who's saving the empire?

Adair Turner, chairman of the independent Committee on Climate Change, who is cheekily called the "environment czar" of Great Britain, made a proposal on Thursday that nobody's gonna like.

In an effort to protect the environment from the ravages of the pasty empire lying on beaches (oh all right, and carbon dioxide emissions), Turner wants the Britains to limit their trips abroad to just a few per year. We're talking making it law.

This just reeks of "rule for the people without enough money to skirt it." Isn't Great Britain's class system already pronounced enough?
