Haven't a clue - a google search on "magenta" and another on
"magenta+global+warming" didn't help either. Do tell ...
Magenta is the complementary colour of green - as near to an 'opposite'
as you can get in the context.
I think we should form an International Magenta Party, to combat the
worst excesses of the green movement. You know, opposing the restoration
of a landfill refuse site because it would displace the seagulls [1].
Members would be required to eat five portions a day of magenta food,
with some tolerance on what is 'magenta'. Examples are: red cabbage,
aubergines (eggplants), lollo rosso, beetroot, red grapes, purple
peppers (rare but they do exist), boysenberries....
[1] Far more serious is the proposal from a group of British MPs to
raise the car tax on cars with a fuel consumption that they consider
'high' to £1800 a year, and even family cars would attract £1500 tax.
Considering what that would do to the values of the cars, it amounts to
summary confiscation of assets. Stalin would be proud! Both of John
Prescott's Jaguars would, of course be exempt, as they are 'essential'.
