Yup. The American export of their burger fetish has added massively to greenhouse gasses. If you want red meat go for cute little lambsies.

I would like to see the comparative ratio figures for greenhouse gasses (GHG) between:

cows > grass feeding > farting > GHG production

humans > bean eating > farting > GHG production

I am pretty certain that the academics' figures for the former would be pretty substantially reduced by the latter based on the vegetarians my of acquaintance

Amusing post but totally without scientific foundation. Cows are methane production machines. New crops are being developed to reduce that.

You beat me to it...some of the early research suggests that the methane generated by cattle grazing on them will be reduced by over 60% as well

Well, I don't know what's in mine, but I had to stop smoking whilst on the bog after a very nasty inter-reaction of flame and gas

I think that the Greenpeaces of the world are not telling you the full picture. Their silence may be due to who funds them.

There are times when you read something and very quickly wish you could un-read it.

This is one such occasion.

Au contraire. I re-read it several times for the repeated large guffaw.

 

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

We have the power to revrrse climate change and it is unbelievable that this knowledge is not shared more widely.... most surveys show that the majority of people are worried about it and most scientists and academics believe it is real . Everyone should eatch this film to open their eyes to the truth .
