That's like me posting from Weekly World News and someone telling me it's not for real. After I put "humor" in the keywords.

I've got that beat. A while back some wingnut global warming freak actually wrote a letter published in the Montpelier Times Argus where he complained about me specifically.

"[Presidio] took a truth (the article)..."

I stopped there in her letter to the Argus. Talk about hubris.

From the letter of complaint:

You'll note presidio9 added "(eating better may reduce the methane released into atmosphere)" to my title without attributing his/her editing to her/himself ... and it's an edit that had nothing to do with my topic!

From the original article:

Green diets vs. global warming (eating better may reduce the methane released into atmosphere) (FR Headline)

According to a news short titled It's better to green your diet than your car found at the New Scientist web site the two professors "compared the amount of fossil fuel needed to cultivate and process various foods, including running agricultural machinery, providing food for livestock and irrigating crops". They also counted methane and nitrous oxide produced by cows, sheep and manure handling. (Note: in the print edition of New Scientist, Dec 17-23 edition, the article is titled "Green your diet before your car".)
