Re: eating meat causes global warming
 
I love how credible the very first sentence is...


"...blah blah liberal bullshit blah....scientists said on Thursday."

And if the article wasn't already bad enough, they somehow manage to plug more liberal horse ---- in there...

"The amount of meat eaten varies considerably worldwide. In developed countries, people typically eat about 224 grams per day. But in Africa, most people only get about 31 grams a day."

The poor children of Africa....oh noes. O0

""If people knew that they were threatening the environment by eating more meat, they might think twice before ordering a burger," Brewster said."

Not me, mother fucker. More beef, now. :7

"Experts said that it would probably take decades to wane the public off of its meat-eating tendency."

Maybe they should just kill these experts. The emissions their cars are making are 10000000000000000x worse than any cow.

Also when they burp, Corey.

This isn't a new idea, guys. It's 15+ years old, and was presented to me in my freshman (junior in HS?)year at UNC-A, in relation to the hole in the ozone layer AND greenhouse effect, as a combination of a joke and a classic case of faulty logic. The problem was considered bigger than a handful of cows waaaaaay before there was such fervent eco-frenzy based on absolutely nothing.

If China agreed to the Kyoto emissions blah blah blah, one fifth of their emissions would still equal five thousand times the global cow farts.

Welcome to the end of common sense! :1

cow farts and burps are the biggest source of "greenhouse" gas in the world.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sh...-plane-flights


If we were to calculate the amount of carbon emitted from Al Gore's trip from Nashville to San Francisco, it would be 45,000 pounds of carbon. From Camarillo to San Fransico [sic], it would be 10,000 pounds of carbon, for a total of 55,000 pounds of carbon.

Notably the average car emits .916 lbs. of CO2/ gallon vs. Al Gore's 21 lbs. of CO2/gallon in his jet. So for the amount of carbon and gasoline that Al Gore emitted, the average family could travel back and forth from Nashville to San Francisco in a Station Wagon 15 times. Again, they could do that 15 times just to equal Al Gores "damage to the Planet" in one day. Worst of all, Sean Hannity and Fox News found out that there were 112 commercial alternatives that Al Gore could have flown to reach that exact destination.

Yeah people kill me going after the little crap that will never make a difference. Why don't they ever go straight to the main cause of the problem....oh wait there's that money thing again.

No, it's about 4th or fifth down the list, rating at only 7%. Almost all sources of CO2 outrank it by a factor of 2 or more.

hmm pretty sure it was at the top

i guess its al gore, john edwards, andarianna huffington's private jets on the top now 8)

Re: eating meat causes global warming
 
If you think it is at the top it's because you've been reading right-wing extremist propaganda that is trying to militarize loyal meat eaters against the environment in an attempt to produce enough bombs to take over the world. Or something almost as stupid as the liberals do/think, just on the opposite spectrum.

I will celebrate these findings by going and eating some chicken pot pie now and grabbing a burger later tonight. :)

Re: eating meat causes global warming
 
I still don't understand why people flip out about postings like this. Some group of scientists got a grant to study this. They studied it and this is their conclusion. Methane gas from cows is increasing global warming. It's just another of the world's "facts". This is only one of many reasons why people lobby against how much beef we eat. It just happens cows take up a ton of resources just so we can eat them.

If only cows could fart carbon fiber. That'd be sick tyte yO.

Those didn't have anything on the cheesy gordita crunch, but then i moved and the local ketacohut sucks ass

Was never a fan of the Gordita. I like the Baja Chulupa though. Anyone remember that time when Taco Bell had fries and you could get them with like meat, bacon, cheese, and sour creame?
