People need to cut back on burgers because they're contributing to climate change, the United Nations said this week.

The United Nations Environment Program said research shows that Americans eat about three burgers a week, and if one of those was swapped for "a plant-based alternative burger for one year, it would be like taking the greenhouse gases from 12 million cars off the road for a year."

The World Economic Forum blames the beef and dairy industries for churning out more greenhouse gas emissions than oil companies or some countries like Germany. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association argued that environmental regulations imposed under the Obama administration were "federal requirements on cattle producers that discourage innovation and impose rigid requirements that do not work on cattle operations and, moreover, defy common sense."

I have an awesomer idea. Shut down the Useless Nations to help curb AGW. How much would it help? Who cares as long as it's shut down. ;-)

Morons. Carbon Dioxide is PLANT Food!
More plants, cooler climate.
Hey, we’re cooling now! The Ozone is smaller. I think OUR plan is working!!!

Article made me hungry, was going to have something light for dinner, but seems the better choice is to drive my F350 dually to town for a burger and shake! It is only 30 miles each way.

Ok, I’ll eat fewer burgers and eat more steak. Someone has to do the dirty work!

A UN controlled World would be a very unhappy World and very violent

How about calling for “shutting down” all the births in Third World Countries and their respective diasporas in Western Countries?

You think humans are the problem, mandate birth control, UN. Cowards, instead you want to F up everyone else’s lifestyle.

Talking about churning out gas emissions, that’s something that the UN and their progressive globalist comrades do well.

My wife is going to ask me why I’m bringing home 10 BK cheeseburgers.

“Because the UN told me not to.”

She’ll understand at once.

I always thought Ronald McDonald was evil (after they replaced the guy from around 1970. /s

Technically, wouldn’t this make the United Nations the Hamburglar?

[SaveFerris]

I will endeavor to have a cheeseburger the next couple of weeks. As soon as financially-possible.

Typical violent Democrats have an obsession with cows.

[SaveFerris]

Excellent work.

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Are all these people on drugs? One hamburger equals twelve million cars off the road????

The solutions to this problem is eat more cows and thus cut down on cow farts.

I like it. I have to use my frozen hamburger for someone's small church group meal this week, so I can't use that.

These are the people GHWB want us to follow. I guess these "sacred principles" are no cheeseburgers.

[President George Bush, addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, Feb. 1, 1992:

"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance."
