Evidently the Earl of Sandwich knew this when he invented sandwiches, dirty bastard...

'SANDWICHES Now Blamed For Global Warming'.....No, SERIOUSLY

My response is STFU and get in the kitchen and make me a sammich

What kind of sammich do you want? I make a good tuna sammich.


.

Now that's weird ...i want a ham sandwich.

Remember when Baloney was so popular ... Gross, it was probably eyeballs, and butts scraped from the floor..so gross.

.

It's called bibbin....or,,,,pink slime....

Is the humble sandwich a climate change culprit?

What will they come up with next? Maybe a meat tax?

Enviros Push Meat Tax

Geesh, you snowflakes and your overreactions.... it was a study just done to see if different footprints could be well-determined. We learned more about carbon footprints from that study than we did about sandwiches.

No, you've twisted something completely.

They did a study and found something out. Then they compared it with something else.

Suddenly this has something to do with environmentalists causing global warming, that bit you just made up.

I was unaware, thank you for that "learn something new every day" tidbit.

My step-brother worked for Kraft for until a couple years ago when his wife got brain cancer, so I have/had a bit of an "obligation" to buy Kraft everything

Why bother, since the effect CO2 has on the global climate is zero or less? It is just more junk pseudoscience.

This is Responsible for Climate Change!

Right. The humble sandwich.

Kidding. Right?

Because that is hilariously and demonstrably false, of course.

Just when you think the AGW k00ks have provided the most pronounced of all the absurdities, they always find a way to come up with something more prolific!!!

Is the humble sandwich a climate change culprit?

I suspect that, like me, a main reason skeptics hang around in this forum is because you know that sure as the sun rising in the morning, the mental cases will always find a way to up the ante on the level of k00k.

Who knows........maybe next year the global warming hypocrites will fly into Davos on Egg McMuffin Sandwiches instead of private jets!!

Just a quick ? for the climate crusaders??

Does this include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches??

Now that would suck!!

Thank you. That link appears (presumably) in post 70, not in the OP. You will note that I wrote:

It takes one not to the study, but to a news article about the study. That said, the article does provide the name of and link to the study. Following that link one is, indeed, taken to the study.

Having read the study, I know now that the thread title is every bit as sensational/inflammatory as I alluded to in my initial post about it. (Read the remarks below to understand why, though if you read the article to which you linked, you shouldn't need to.) There is a huge difference between "sandwiches being blamed for global warming" and "sandwich production, selling and disposal of by products of both contributing to global warming."

The difference is both qualitative and quantitative, and anyone who cares about discursive integrity, anyone who aims to faithfully represent another's remarks and who isn't a complete idiot, would summarize the study's overall findings using the diction found in this thread's title, or for that matter, as is done in the main sentence of the OP wherein, again, the author depicts the sandwich, not sandwich production, etc., as the "culprit," saying, "the triangular meals could be responsible for the equivalent annual carbon emissions of 8.6 million cars in Britain alone." [1]

Note:

1. Frankly, I also find even the doubt-casting nature of the "could be responsible for" verbiage disingenuous because after reviewing the researcher's methodology, I see no basis for thinking there are material misstatements in the estimated carbon footprint of making, selling, etc. sandwiches and, in turn, thinking that those misstatements result from research/analytical methodology the researchers used to produce those estimates. Moreover, neither you nor the OP have provided any basis, let alone a sound/cogent one, for one to take exception with the researchers' methodology.

if you would bother to READ.

Reading the study, one finds that its authors do not, as this thread's title asserts, blame global warming on sandwiches, but rather that they quantify the global warming impact of entire process of making, selling, storing, transporting, and disposing of waste products associated with sandwiches.

What the study does is identify, in consideration of the whole life cycle of sandwiches -- including the production of ingredients, sandwiches and their packaging, as well as food waste discarded at home and elsewhere in the supply chain the carbon footprint of making sandwiches -- the carbon footprint of sandwiches, both home-made and pre-packaged.

Altogether the team looked at 40 different sandwich types, recipes and combinations. They found the highest carbon footprints for the sandwiches with pork meat (bacon, ham or sausages) and those containing cheese or prawns. Of the recipes considered, the most carbon-intensive variety is a ready-made ‘all-day breakfast’ sandwich which includes egg, bacon and sausage. The researchers estimate that this type of sandwich generates 1441 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 eq.). This is equivalent to CO2 emissions from driving a car for 12 miles. The sandwich with the lowest carbon emission equivalent is a simple home-made favourite, ham and cheese.

The study also found that making one's own sandwiches at home could reduce carbon emissions by a half, compared to ready-made equivalents, because the largest contributor to a sandwich’s carbon footprint is agricultural production and processing of their ingredients, which, depending on the type, can account for ~37% to ~67% of CO2 eq. for producing, transporting, making available for sale and processing the waste associated with ready-made sandwiches. Keeping sandwiches chilled in supermarkets and shops also contributes to their carbon footprint. This can account for up to a quarter of their greenhouse gas emission equivalent. Then there is the packaging material which comes in at up to 8.5 % and, finally, transporting materials and refrigerating sandwiches themselves adds a further 4%.

The study concludes that the carbon footprint of making sandwiches could be reduced by as much as 50 per cent if a combination of changes were made to the recipes, packaging and waste disposal. The researchers also suggest extending sell-by and use-by periods to reduce waste.
