AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
” Burp”...I’ll have the #7 Fiesta Platter and 2 of those new round sugar things, Please”
I weigh 105.
You owe me LOTS of carbon credits!
Pay up!
[what can a person spend carbon credits on, any way? books? clothes?]...;-D
And let’s not mention the extra amount of methane fat people produce, which is a far worst greenhouse gas than CO2.
I dont believe that is physically possible
Chill out. Have a steak. With some butter and mashed potatoes. Like I did tonight. Someone’s got to keep the cow population in check.

The Evironmentally-Consious {sic} Meat
That’d be Kangaroo. Marsupials, you see, have only tiny farts.
Professor Garnaut reports that Australian marsupials such as kangaroos, unlike cattle and sheep, emit negligible amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide.
While AlGore’s got everybody running scared over CO2, the fact of the matter is that methane is far more potent as a greenhouse gas. Garnaut recognizes that cattle and sheep produce a lot of methane, and so he reasons that if people moved toward more environmentally friendly sources of protein, such as roo meat, we’d all be better off.
Unfortunately, as mentioned before, the primary biological emitter of methane are neither cows nor sheep - but termites.
Termites are prodigious farters, and it’s almost all methane - a byproduct of their digestive systems that are exclusively cellulose-based. There are so many termites on the planet that elimination of the entire cattle and sheep industries would have little effect upon atmospheric methane.
Taken on a pound-for-pound measure, there are more termites than all species of mammals combined. That’s impressive. And termites don’t seem to get worked up much over “Anthropogenic Global Warming”. Maybe it’s because AGW doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s because global climate issues just don’t bother them all that much. They’ve been farting around on the planet far longer than you have. And they’ll continue doing so long after you’re gone.
If you think you’re going to “Save The Planet” by recycling more, using compact fluorescent bulbs, using only one square of toilet paper at a time, or driving a Prius - you’re sadly mistaken.

Why not?
There’s no doubt that the global warming people would like us to all have the same standard of living that they enjoy in North Korea.
105 lb. women aren’t at all uncommon. ...especially young women.
Dr Phil Edwards should shoot himself . That will reduce his carbon output.
“I weigh 105.
You owe me LOTS of carbon credits!
Pay up!”
I’m 480 pounds but I’m 8’ 12” tall...
Actually, I’ve lost 20 pounds lately. I wonder if the world will owe me?
Its just not fair
“I weigh 105”
“I dont believe that is physically possible”
If that’s Sal in the pictures, not a feathers’ weight more...
“what can a person spend carbon credits on, any way? books? clothes?”
You can’t, but Al Goreon sells them, so he will spend
your money for you.
He still has to pay the electric bill on his estate with
all those flood lights on his trees.
They're worried about 7 freaking pounds in 10 years???

Termite farts? Obviously someone was very badly in need of a doctoral thesis.
