Clearly Global Warming is a panacea for a whole raft of causes. From anti-capitalism to third world development to animal rights activist and vegetarians. Everybody wants in on the act. As with Rachel Carson, the consequences of the hysteria are likely to be significant and unpredicted.
The first casualty appears to be civil discourse, closely followed by scientific discourse and soon political discourse. What is one to do when one is equated to a holocaust denier? SOcrates and Galileo are soon going to have some 21st Century peers.

These people want to establish systematic government discrimination against human beings who are not genetically equipped to live on a vegetable diet.

An allusion to alchemy, a stone that could turn lead into gold. Also, from the title of a Harry Potter book.
/duplicate posts are still bad.

Vegetarians eat valuable plants that produce oxygen when they filter CO2.
Vegans contribute to global warming and CO2 greenhouse gasses.
Pass me a ribeye please, medium rare.
To: bjc
But....if we eat more plants....than what will cleanse the air of carbon dioxide???

From the article.....
"It doesn't have to be all the way to the extreme end of vegan," says Dr. Eshel, whose family raised beef cattle in Israel. "If you simply cut down from two burgers a week to one, you've already made a substantial difference."
I have a friend who despises the leftists so much when he heard this he started eating At Burger King every day for lunch....
ROTFLMAO
This whole GW thing is turning into a comedy act.

Another Bumper sticker I saw once was "Darwin was right!"
To: bjc
Does this make cannibals part of the CO2 "problem" or part of the "solution"? I'm so confused.

What the frilly heck is a Sorcerer's Stone? Same idea as a sampo.
The OP meant that Global Warming serves many purposes.

American meat eaters are responsible for 1.5 more tons of carbon dioxide per person than vegetarians every year. Too bad global warming is not caused by that.
To: bjc
Today, I saw a bumpersticker which carried not only the noble admonition against environmental hazards (Save a cow...) but also a way to cure the whole issue (...eat a vegetarian).
