HONESTY FROM A GLOBAL WARMING NUT

The thing about those who keep telling us in real "Flash Gordon" style, that we only have a month and a half to save the planet, is that they are - at best - economical with the truth.

You see if you REALLY believe that we are destroying the planet (just so we are clear, I do not!), then getting behind the wheel of a Prius or buying carbon offsets from your own company while you move swiftly around the world in a private jet, is truly not the problem.

The problem is MUCH more basic than that... if you are a true believer that is.

The problem is in fact a four letter word...

MEAT!

You see if we are destroying Planet earth, then by FAR the biggest culprits are in fact cows. Look at this from The Times of London:

Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.

WOW! - 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide??

So the first question you need to ask the person screaming at you for driving around in your SUV is if they want to discuss the whole thing over a burger somewhere... because if they do, then they are a FAR bigger problem to the atmosphere - in all kinds of ways! - than you and your SUV.

In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."

Stern is one of the worlds' leading authorities on Global Warming. And it really does come down to this. If you are serious that we are destroying the planet then two things need to happen.

1. Turn veggie. If I catch you so much as sniffing at a well grilled burger or steak while a guest at my home, we are going to have a problem.

2. When exactly should the whole cow and pig genocide thing start? Oh and of course, how exactly are we going to do that? Hunt them from helicopters? Round them up as usual and send them to the slaughter house, but burn all the meat? (hang 0n - carbon dioxide - we better bury them in a land fill!).

I do have some words of praise for this Lord. He is being honest. If you accept the premise that global warming is produced by the gasses we pump into the atmosphere, then surely we need to take on this huge producer of those gasses?

Oh and one final thing - Stern - who I did say was honest - eats MEAT!!! He said so in the Times!!

So what you are saying is that PETA is promoting global warming...yeah that is it...them PETA people probably all drive Prius cars too!

Pretty much that's it Gary. Oh and if you REALLY want to help, then use your SUV to run down a pig or two.

Simon - that is why we should expand hunting, it will keep the natural methane gasses down from the high population of deer.

But, when you think about it, veggies, especially veggies like legumes and cabbage cause excess methane. Just sit in a closed room after a large group has had baked beens and sauerkraut.

Simon, you really need to stay up to date with the preferred nomenclature...its Climate Change.

I'm starting with the LAZY squirrels that try to OUT RUN the BLONDE in the LEXUS!!!!

As Kathy Bates said in FRIED GREEN TOMATOES * "I'm older and have better insurance".....

I like Mike's idea..In fact next weekend i am going to do my part!

I can't help but wonder if they will put a tax on countries that have volcanoes. Volcanoes cause more global pollution than man. What's the deal? Going out for a big fat juicy steak for dinner tonight. Might have a side of cabbage to help out. LOL

Should we kill all the animals that roam free? Or just the ones we eat?

It's all BS to me. And thank God for the cows that produce BS honestly in an effort to make me a better, more flavorful steak. Global climate change - BAH! Whatever species follows mankind in the next stage of evolution will laugh their asses off when they read some of this blather.
