There is no limit to their stupidity… Scampi and chips could soon be off the menu! Woke scientists call for Brits to ditch the seaside staple – amid fears it carries a 'hidden climate cost' Woke scientists are calling for Brits to take scampi and chips off the menu, amid fears that the seaside staple carries a 'hidden climate cost'. Scampi is a traditional chip shop treat made from the breaded and fried tails of Norway lobsters, also known as langoustines. These slim, brightly coloured lobsters live in the mud at the bottom of the ocean and thrive in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland However, scientists now warn that fishing for scampi threatens to release vast stores of carbon dioxide and decimate ocean ecosystems. The most common method for catching Norway lobsters is to drag heavy nets across the sea floor in a process known as bottom trawling. Conservationists have long warned that this practice causes enormous damage to marine life, but scientists have now identified another 'hidden' climate cost. In a new study, scientists from the University of Exeter found that bottom trawling can release carbon that was trapped in the mud thousands of years ago. With these hidden costs in mind, co–author Professor Callum Roberts told the Daily Mail that people should 'definitely' avoid British scampi caught through bottom trawling.
