Divorce- Latest threat to planet?

Wait before you take that wedding ring off. For all you know, you could be aiding melting of polar ice and floods and cyclones. Our ever-skeptical environmentalists have thrown yet another bomb masqueraded as a caveat that says divorce leads to snowballing of energy and resource consumption thereby upsetting ecological balance.
The findings published in National Academy of sciences says divorce is the latest threat to environment since it means more households with lesser people, more space, energy, and water requirement. So they are suggesting people to fall back in love, for cohabitation means less urban sprawl and softens the damage to environment.
So, you have a handful of geeky scientists preaching love to a contingent of the urban population for whom divorce has long become a demographic trend. Next we will have environmental summits with marriage experts on the board to counsel people on how to maintain the conjugal bliss, which is fast eluding the planet. And we will have people working on their marriages even if they cant stand the sight of each other because running two sets of refrigerators, Air Conditioners and cars will be an environmental extravagance that they can’t afford. We will see divorce lawyers scrambling for alternate careers to keep their kitchen fire burning.
All this because the scientists around the world have mastered the quickest way of making headlines that is warning people against some potential threat to the planet every two days. And heeding every recommendation is the fad that we like to flaunt even it is some taradiddle about staying in a marriage to help save the planet.
