Meat, Dairy diet not tied to global warming

Forget all that indecorous talk of animal flatulence, cow burps, vegetarianism and global warming. Welcome to Cowgate.

Lower consumption of meat and dairy products will not have a major impact in combating global warming — despite persistent claims that link such diets to more greenhouse gases. So says a report presented Monday before the American Chemical Society.

It is the bovine version of Climategate, complete with faulty science and noisy activists with big agendas.

And I gave up my hair dryer to help out on global warming??? </sarc>

Probably not since the planet is cooling at this time.

All of these hoax’s — weather health care or Global Warming - fat kids, etc are not about the issue - it is always about government control and taxing the productive and enlarging the government and those in it.

Good! I hope the feds keeps their hands off my hot, buttered steaks.

It was a ruse to prepare us for Soylent Green.

What a relief! I was really worried about that one.

Oh goody, now I can sleep at night.

Can’t wait to see the leaked e-mail.

I’m freezing and eating a piece of raw liver.

Kidding. It’s cooked.

Well of course not because Al Gore Loves his cheeseburgers.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

That’s the great thing about solar ovens. There are no mechanical parts to break or wear out. You can have an environmentally-conscious meal fully cooked ... on any day that the sun shines strongly for several hours. It’s gotta do a great job on liver too I am sure. lol

Flatulence simply depends upon who eats the vegetables.

If we all switched to vegetarian diets, the flatulence does not go away, we merely take over. Probably even more so as we do not have 5 stomachs to break down plant cellulose.

Vegetarians and especially vegans are always shifting nervously for a reason - they fart constantly and are trying hard not let anyone know.

But now you know, if you know a vegetarian, they are farting morning, noon and night. Almost as much as, well... er... a cow.

According to “Everyone Poops” or its sequel, meat eaters have worse smelling poop/farts.

Masters of the obvious! Where was Fatulence-Caused Global Warming back when millions of these critters (Bison bison) blanketed America's Great plains?
