…according to our Jesus First senator Steven Fielding
DIVORCE adds to the impact of global warming as couples switch to wasteful single lifestyles, according to an Australian politician. Family First senator Steve Fielding told a Senate hearing yesterday that divorce led to a "resource-inefficient lifestyle" and it would be better for the planet if couples stayed married.
or as is suggested later in the article maybe un-married singles could live together to cut down on carbon emissions.
Seriously I hope this idiot gets voted out at the next election, having this kind of stupidity with a share in the balance of power in the senate in dangerous.
Of course if we want to reduce our carbon footprint how’s about closing down those inefficiently designed churches and getting the religious to share venues with other community groups.

I should mention Sean that Fielding made these comments at the art of this year, before he fell into bed with the climate change denialists. As he's no doubt a fine and consistent human being, he clearly now supports divorce, as there is (according to him) no hope in Hell that "living inefficiently" contributes to global warming.
Good on him. Please take the Fielding image down now – I'm hoping to get lucky with Ms Dikkii and it's not helping my case.
He does have a point though. Divorce does lead to greater use of resources, 2 people now using 2 homes, instead of one, and everything that goes along with that.
It may be better if people didn't get divorced but that's not always going to happen, and in many cases one of the partners may have no say in the matter.
To put a religious spin on it, from what I've read religious people have a higher divorce rate than non-religious people.
But what about those who decide to remarry or those that decide not to but move in a defacto relationship.
