An inconvenient truth?

"KIWIFRUIT BLAMED FOR GLOBAL WARNING" (Page 1 headline,
Taranaki Daily News - 31/10/2006)

Poms say the humble Kiwifruit is responsible for
discharging carbon emissions into the atmosphere by flying
the fruit into Britain. Aussies can relax now they have
found the real cause of the widespread drought conditions,
a spokesman said, “We knew the Kiwis were behind it some
how”.

ha ha ha ha! That is a total crack up.

Seriously, I believe ripening fruit release ethene. You can make fruit ripen by exposing them to ethene too, particularly bananas.

That's my crazy trivia point for today.
