CFL Bulbs Come With New Warning from UK Health Officials

Cross-Posted FROM Gribbit’s WordThe United States Congress has recently passed legislation masked as an “energy” bill designed to implement policies advocated by the biggest liberal on the planet, High Priest Al Gore of the Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots (MDI). In that legislation, Congress mandates the complete ban of incandescent light bulbs by 2014. So what is our alternative? Compact Florescent Light Bulbs (CFL). One problem however, CFL’s contain mercury.

UK health officials are warning to evacuate any room for a minimum of 15 minutes in the event a CFL breaks.

From WND:

Health experts warned this week that people with certain skin ailments will suffer from the new eco-friendly bulbs which cause conditions such as eczema to flare up. Additionally, the bulbs have been linked to migraine headaches in some people.

The Environment Agency’s latest advice focuses on the 6 to 8 milligrams of toxic mercury in each bulb.

Users who break a bulb should vacate the room for at least 15 minutes, the new guidelines say. The debris should not be removed with a vacuum cleaner, which could put toxic dust into the air, but with rubber gloves. The broken glass and all residue is to be placed into a sealed plastic bag and taken to a local official recycling site for proper disposal.

The theory that man is responsible for global climate change is a loose one that is being torn apart more and more on a daily basis. These bulbs supposedly will save an estimated 5 million tons of CO2 from entering our atmosphere annually. But what they aren’t telling you is that man is responsible for releasing an estimated 6 billion metric tons annually and that makes man responsible for a little over 3% of the CO2 being released. So where does the rest come from?
