Green Party suports dihydrogen monoxide ban.

Yep. dihydrogen monoxide is water!


"The Greens' support for a ban on dihydrogen monoxide shows just how scientifically illiterate the party is. They would ban anything if it has a slightly scientific name, regardless of the fact that all life would cease without water," Dr Smith said.

The email on dihydrogen monoxide points out it is a colourless, odourless, tasteless chemical used in all sorts of dangerous industries and that in gaseous form it causes thousands of burns; in liquid form millions of deaths from overdose (drowning), and in its solid state causes tissue damage.

Cute. However, in fairness to Greens everywhere, perhaps you should have mentioned that this is very old news. It was a news release issued by the New Zealand National Party to attack the New Zealand Green Party and published October 25, 2001.
