A university is banning the sale of burgers to try to fight global warming.
It plans to install more solar panels across its New Cross campus, in south-east London, and switch to a 100% clean energy supplier as soon as possible. "I believe Frances Corner and the university management are realising this and making these changes to put their part of the house fire out. Rosie Rogers, of Greenpeace UK, said:"It's encouraging to see an institution like Goldsmiths not simply declaring a climate emergency but acting on it.
That’ll make a change I’m sure, I can feel it getting cooler already
God damn these uneducated morons who ban stuff unrelated to the earth's natural temperature fluctuations. Like, 1 volcano releases 100×+ the amount of human made pollution.
Brainwashing propaganda by so called 'Adults'... who are these people telling other what we can and can't do...? so much for a free country when we are told what to do who to do it with and how....the UK is pathetic and we all fall for it...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we stopped importing cheap shitty beef that might help the carbon footprint a bit and give'British' farmers a hand up, and what about the huge gas guzzlers that drop the little darling off in the morning? should we ban humans from farting so we can put more strain on the NHS ?
that is discrimination against quality burger eaters. p.s a little schooling for the Uni... start ‘banning’ things & many patrons will simple go elsewhere to get a bite, read a little history on that matter. 👀🤔💭🦠💩🍔🤷♂️ burgergate politicalcorrection2.0
Sounds like a Shitty University !
why 'to tackle climate change' we KNOW, there's DATA that livestock (especially cows) contribute to global warming more than ALL THE TRANSPORT IN THE WORLD. This is an urgent measure, and tbh beef should be banned in the whole of the UK.
When did a British university change itself into a dictatorship rather than a house of learning? Our kids are terrified of speaking their minds and now can't even make their own choice of luncheon. Time to put a stop to this vile censorship we didn't vote for or were asked about
Be better to ban it for health reasons
& puts UK farming workers out of work. Time to defund the biased IPCC propergandist BBC, slumming on over 75s licence taxes.
Shower of fuckin ejits 😂😂😂
Pointless
Ridiculous and a waste of time
Sorted 🤣
There will be 750,000 less animals over the 3 days of Eid. All of which will have had their throats cut while fully aware in ritual slaughter. Should make you well chuffed. climatechangebollocks
Idiots
I thought it was in a bid to tackle obesity...but this makes more sense! Obesity is more prevalent in council type folk every where in UK. The educated should know better.
It would be better if there was more research into making use of methane gas
Subsidising vasectomies in India would be 500% more effective.
Beef no longer will be sold on campus, not ham...
Are they lecturing kids on climate change,or lecturing them on hamburgers
BBCLondonNews Ban hamburgers but let students eat pot noodles from a plastic cup hmmmnn
I’ve heard some stupid things but this takes the biscuit 🍔
Yep - that is the answer - China US and India don’t need to change anything now .
Ahhh our fresh breed of politicians & news reporters... exciting times ahead. You can have all the degrees in the World & still be void of common sense.
Well,they’ve just saved the world 🤡
Hahahahaha, this is a joke, right
BBCLondonNews How about banning nuclear tests & WMDs? Do u think that might be better than stopping people from eating what they want?
Why don't they stop cutting trees in rainforests first?
🤡 Honk Honk
An A+ for stupidity and ridiculous idea.
WTF please give us proper news.
They'll all be queuing at the kebab shop in New Cross then
Mishearing of 'CARS contribute to global warming' as COWS. Should've gone to Specsavers😊
And probably installed loads of solar panels on that massive roof ? Or are they jumping on a popular bandwagon for some reason ?
Stopped printing glossy promotion literature. And collecting and recycling everything they can. I'm sure they collect all the rainwater off that massive roof and use it for flushing the thousand toilets they must have. And have supplied all thier teachers with pushbikes.
🤦🏽wow. Just wow.
I know these places like to be seen to be doing the right thing. I'm sure they've already changed thier utilities supplier to one that supplies only green energy, changed every single lightbulb to energy saving, only communicate with every pupil and teacher via email.
What a load of bullocks!
jnl20001 Oh thank god we are all safe now... Please!! Get a grip what is all this knee jerk sad pseudo 'oh the climate emergency' hysteria. Do you REALLY think this will make any difference at all to anything? Thought you were a place of learning.... Banning stuff isn't the way.
All be wearing chesp clothes made in far east transpored at great cost ysing expensive phones using precious metals eroding soil who said you needed brains for a university degree
Really? Ur telling people what they can not eat?
The over reliance on fossil fuels and deforestation are causing rapid climate change, but yeah, blame the cows. 🙄
Bremeners are they?
Don't worry about all the smartphones and computers which are far worse
At the least they didn’t ban them for global warming! theworldsgonemad
💭 what a load of nonsense
Maybe ham egg and chip sandwiches in there place.
That'll do it
...and my local library is banning silly walks to tackle right wing extremism 🙄
Ludicrous, trying to put farmers out of business
Oh god I’m going to cook one now
Are beef burgers allowed then?
Sigh. Ignorance is pervasive at the highest levels. Pathetic.
Mcdonalds gave them a bung - they have a shop next door
Beef Cattle farming is helping to destroy the forests of the world so good news, also beef is not good for you
No Burgers. HMM
It's all those fartin' cows.
MaxFassbrause Meanwhile:
Who writes this shit ..this university hasn't banned hamburgers its decided not to sell them
No that can't be right, surely.
It's all so tiresome.
Shroomdogs for the win!
Another example of why the voting age should be raised to 25.
Have they banned single use plastics though? That would make more sense.
Cracked it, phew that was close.
Load of bloody nonsense
How much more ridiculous do universities have to get?
So I guess they think that the veg jumps out the ground and washes its self then walks to the supermarket to be sold?
The acedemic Virtue signalling krankies are flowering again. I’d like to ban them, the anger I feel in listening to these donks is causing my body temp to rise, I’m contributing to Climate Change.
That will go a long way
Thank goodness! I can sleep easy now knowing that that's climate change solved!
Utterly ridiculous mpre examples of nanny state.
🤣🤣
They must be brain dead. You can’t stop climate change, unless you can control the life cycle of the sun. These people are at university😂😂😂😂😂
Stuff the Hamburger story BBC where's Lord Bailey hiding out, & why ?
Virtue signalling at its finest
They should also ban electricity and cars. Then finally people. Without people .... apparently there would be no climate change ..... logical?
My wife’s alma mater 👩🎓
&96985696469-(()000 ft
How about banning mobile phones and tablets which need charging every day!!!
It won’t
I can see why most vegetarians vegetate now
University should know it’s place.
Currently ignoring all the dumb comments. Actually happy that the university has taken such decision.
But leaves the lights and air conditioning on all night 😂
Very clever uni guys
Next time im in London in going to go eat a big Mac in their refectory ! Lol
When do we have to kill our first-born ?
How very woke.
Bloody gas guzzlers...
Why nobody talking about banning AI? That has a huge carbon footprint
There was a time when Universities were run by intelligent people for intelligent people.
That'll work problem solved
FKEU8 Students will starve if they also boycott pizza parlours.
Having more children will be banned also Humans produce methane not as much as cows but still contribute so !!
Complete and utter rubbish fakenews by the BBC again
Slow news day
Great news, we are all saved.
And the throw away clothes that students buy, that is made in China. Beef does not effect climate as much as people let on. Cows help with climate too as their ‘poo pats’ block CO2 from escaping the ground
Should ban all the Hot Air from all those liberal lefty snowflakes Go and protest in China India & the Amazon
Would be better to ban students having cars at university
When did everyone go completely mad? Just one ridiculous story after another.
Wonder how many drive to work in cars.?
i've heard some shit in my time
The poor darlings will be okay. New Cross Road largely consists of fried chicken/burger/kebab etc shops nowadays.
GoldsmithsSU has gone crazy..
Saps
Instead of doing something real, do something incredibly stupid and pointless
Rubbish
Good grief! Snowflakes
Will they also ban foreign students from attending the Uni as this would also help tackle climate change? Thought not as its all about the money. Hypocrites
Goldsmith numpties.
Beefburgers are better anyway....
What is climate change? Is this a new thing?
Banned because of 'ham' not the Climate Hoax.
Oh dear snowflakes rule
Why ban the sale of beef if they are banning hamburgers? Hamburgers are traditionally made of ham not beef. May I suggest your inept reporter should learn the difference between beef and pork products.
How’s banning hamburgers gonna help 😂😂
What about banning kebab meat ...just as bad if not worse
Sooner they ban them spoons the sooner they stop obesity A ? Don’t ban hamburgers. Have classes for hot earthers with no heating in the winter no fans in the summer . And wen they all go home turn off all fridges freezers heating lights etc . The others may emulate ?
it’s amazing how short-sighted the extreme left is. This is the beginning of your loss of all freedom if this kind of thing is allowed to continue. Be careful what you wish for.
This is not a university, it is a crèche.
Hamburgers are made from pork , the clues in the name
Just before they fly away for the summer hols.. Ironic..
More students will be eating lunch at Burger King next door in Lewisham from now on.
The snowflakes are taking over. People should be reducing harmful emissions from industries and, ESPECIALLY, tackling those morons who are destroying the Amazon rainforest.
Whistlingghost Thats just DUMB.
Market opportunity for a McDonaldsUK to open right next door. Net gain... zero.
There's a job opportunity for someone living near. Start up a burger van & park it outside the university. 🍔💰
typically pointless and futile
Ban the skiing society. Winter Sports have a massive carbon footprint.
But continues to accept foreign students who have to fly to study....
Click bait sensationalist headline, typically BBC News these days. It seems incredible that you continue to report in such a way every time action (as opposed to the empty rhetoric beloved by the Tories) is taken to try & prevent total collapse of food supplies. Fix up ffs
To be consistent regarding concerns with their carbon footprint: -ban all overseas students and anybody from outside the M25 -ban societies with any carbon footprint -etc.
BBCLondonNews What a load of bullocks
if you leave your car running in the garage overnight and sleep next to it you will be dead in the morning. If you put 5 cows, 5 sheep, 5 pigs in the garage overnight and sleep in there you will be warm and alive! We need to get real about this
Bullshit!
The good decision that 🍔 ban in universities.But the reason of scientists concept is wrong. We wondering that the scientist must do the schooling starts from beginning!Cow keeps our grassland ecosystem healthy&stable.
Lets ban books as well. All those CO2 consuming trees being chopped down? Terrible.
What about the cheese slices?
The morons have been fully indoctrinated. You wonder what has happened Universities should be places of intelligence and critical thinking, not virtue signalling and following the flock.
That’s their best shot? Wow, underwhelmed. Good for MacDonalds though!
😂🤣
Just beef? All dairy products too? What about pork and lamb; if you ban beef then pork and lamb can nsumption will rise; what difference will it make.
I’ll double my intake. saveourcows 🐄 🐮
The world is saved.
You used to go to university to learn things
It would be Goldsmiths.
If we have to stop eating beef to stop global warming we have to accept we need to start planning for the consequences and stop pretending we can stop it because we're dreaming our way into a catastrophe.
Goldsmiths is a creative arts university, isn't.
“Environmental campaigners working hard to alienate everyone from their cause”
Climate change is the mood of all humans and the expression of the nature. One way or the other humans should reshape the world into something better not for worst.
Fresh Head, No Flash.
FreeIreland stopfakenews BBCfakenews
Remember the time when universities were full of intelligent people. Been a while.
Banning plastic water bottles in favour of mains tap water seems fair but I think that the only real winners will be the local MacDonalds and Burger King.
RealBlackIrish My old college. As if being in the middle of the New Cross one-way system and being full of bad art and pretentious hippies wasn't bad enough, now you can't even get a burger 🤪
Of course it has.
Well I can tell you now, I won't be sending my kids there.
Our educated elite in all their glory 😂😂😂
And to think these people are our 'youngest and brightest'. Quite frightening
RealBlackIrish Had to be goldsmiths 😂
GeodanNew How are they providing Iron to the students? Also..
They should also ban vegetarian foods that make you fart to tackle climate change
They should also ban iPhones. See how long that lasts.
Will they suspend all staff & students who travel by air? That would be far more helpful.
At least they are trying. Be the change you want to see. Everyone who disagrees is knuckle dragging & stuck in the past. Nothing ever changes if you criticise those who at least try
Aren't there other meat dishes? 🤔
A small but important victory for Progressive Liberalism! Every University should follow Goldsmiths example and all students be given the right not to be allowed to eat meat.
How does actually happen? It's commendable nonetheless...
I guess they will ban overseas students to save on the travel footprint!
Funny how many older folk are calling it ridiculous, they’ve nothing to worry about.
What tosh
alisonokok this is literally the epitome of goldsmiths
It won’t tackle climate change. It won’t stop Tesco’s selling burgers, it won’t stop shell drilling for oil. It won’t stop big industries mining for metals. It won’t stop the thousands of motorsports every week. It won’t stop planes flying or boats polluting the water..
Cull half the students that should help. The country is going nuts.
Ffs. These students are adults and can make their own choices!
Great, that’s it all fixed then.
Well. It’s a start. A strange place to start but perhaps it will create a debate.
Yeah good. Brilliant. Raising awareness.
PATHETIC
pixiesheena Unbelievable everyone's just going to the extreme, cant see a fucking burger making that much difference🤣😂🤣😂
pixiesheena Is it April Fools Day?
How about Banning Gap years and worldwide travel?
This is a response to fake news from the food manufacturing industry.
I think they’d do better to ban students
Virtue signalling bollocks.
There is a business opportunity here
I would have thought that a university of all places would want to base their actions on peer reviewed research rather than vegan propaganda.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BBCLondonNews Are they banning all products contains palm oil too? And what about ingredients such as avocado that are flown half way around the world?
Yet avocados can be flown half way around the world to feed the comrades 🙄
With professors like that we’re fucked 🙄
LOL this is some BS !!
Idiots
Radicalised by the constant disinformation and lies spread by the likes of and their fellow travellers.
Are the Maldives under water yet
The only way to stop or slow down the climate emergency is to work with people, tell them what they should do rather than promote a ban culture of ecological correctness.
More like the Obesity epidemic
And I’ll bet they still sell avocado and almond containing products, which are not exactly the friendliest for the earth
Give me strength...😂
There's a burger place literally opposite that campus that has some of the best reviews I've ever seen on trip advisor. this article has just persuaded me to actually buy a burger next time I'm at New Cross.
Meanwhile the nearby branch of mcdonalds is like
And while I think on it, studying climate change isn’t really that helpful at this moment in time. They should expand their carbon capturing courses and renewable energy courses, or make them more available to a wider group
Goldsmiths: thick with CulturalMarxist freaks & sheeple 🤡 BurgerTime
Hamburgers has a connection with climate change! Strange😂
Interesting points, but I would argue that Instead of plastic cups, why not just use paper and why not just commit to have more water fountains for refillable bottles (and stop selling single use plastic bottles) rather than charging 10p more which isn’t a deterrent really...
Does that mean all the staff vegetarians
Where will this lunacy end?
So when people want one they have to drive to get it... 🤔
This ok is though.
I agree with their stance on single use plastics, but banning beef?! Banning overseas students too are they (all those air miles...) ? And dairy products? (dairy cows are cows too y'know Frances). What about heating? Best ban that, all those fossil fuels. madness
Exile the admins and professors, bulldoze the campus and salt the earth.
Really?
The other day BBC were panicking that Brexit is going to lead to a mass culling of Cows. Now boycotting beef is saving the planet? Studens pay £10k a year and this is what they have to show for it
pure madness..
Al gore is quids in, p*ssing himself laughing at the gullible sheeple.
How pathetic! Try encouraging people to have less children - that would be the most environmentally friendly.
Talk about a sledgehammer to crack a nut!!
The biggest source of CO2 is the brikshit from Tory MPs.
Goodness me. Hamburgers. And a 'university'?! Climate change morphed from global warming morphed from ozone layer. Earth's natural heating and cooling processes dictate climate. Can they harness the wind, hold back the tides, halt earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes & tsunamis.
Idiots
Love this it’s so progressive
More like the 'DUMB and DUMBER' school. Yes?
Idiots
What next? Baked Beans?
Fuel poverty is the way to win the next election. Any party that can keep people warm this winter will win. Taking away small luxuries from students will just make them angry and not want to go to your university.
Why doesn't it ban cars first? And foreign students who fly in?
Time to defund these institutions of idiocy - let them survive on private donations from vegans and econuts!
So the kids who are currently bunking off school can get into university to study climate change, and then go on strike because of, er, climate change. Wouldn’t that be ironic
The best academics. 😂🤣
😂😂😂
Uhhhhhh🤔🤷🏻♀️
