Moët is murder

People who drink champagne – like, say, Cactus Kate – are destroying the planet. That is the only conclusion one can draw from this report in the Guardian:

French researchers used a mass spectrometer to analyse component chemicals as wines effervesce. Led by Professor Gérard Liger-Belair, from the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France, they estimated that an average 75cl bottle of champagne produces 100m bubbles and releases 5 litres of carbon dioxide.

But I’m afraid that if I have to choose between drinking champagne and saving the planet, Gaia can look out for herself.
