Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has a solution for global warming: Eat bugs.
In an interview with The Guardian, Annan called the global livestock industry "a major threat to the climate" and suggested insects as an alternative protein source to meat.
"Eating insects is good for the environment and balanced diets," he said.
Annan told The Guardian that the growing population and middle class are making it more difficult to meet meat demands.
"It represents 14.5 percent of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations," he said.

Start by serving nothing but bugs at the UN for a year or two, and then see where it goes.

You know what’s a threat to global climate? Thugs who burn down liberal cities. Environmentalists, who don’t allow clear cutting of old growth forests. 1 Percenters who fly around the world in private jets, driving around in limos and living in 10,000 square foot homes. Oil trains that derail, spilling oil all over the place.
What do all these things have in common?

Where Kofi hails from they have cockroaches big and beefy enough to barbeque on a spit over a water buffalo dung fire.

mmichaels1970 :" Start by serving nothing but bugs at the UN for a year or two, and then see where it goes."
If that were to happen , I imagine there will be a new catering company at the dining room within two weeks.

"Start by serving nothing but bugs at the UN for a year or two, and then see where it goes."Oh no no no. What Annan meant was "(The little people) eating insects is good for the environment and balanced diets."
He didn't mean that the beautiful people should have to ear bugs. Ick.
