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.
""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 ******. More beef, now.

"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.

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

Re: eating meat causes global warming
cow farts and burps are the biggest source of "greenhouse" gas in the world.

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.
