'Cull livestock to combat climate change'
Farmer's Weekly ^ | Thursday 26 November 2009 | Johann tasker

Livestock numbers should be slashed to combat climate change, says a report.

A 30% reduction in livestock in high-producing countries is needed to meet climate change targets, says the document.

The report calls on health ministers and professionals across the world to recognise the danger that climate change poses to health.

A reduction in livestock numbers that led to reduced meat consumption would have positive effects on human health, it states.

Changes in farming practice to reduce livestock and overall meat consumption could lower the intake of saturated fat, says the report.

The document was launched at an event attended by health secretary Andy Burnham on Wednesday (25 November).

Mass Murder due to government planning is nothing new. Stalin killed 10 million Ukranians by starvation. But we are better armed to deal with the bureaucrats who think they are in charge.

These kooks are extremely dangerous. They are going to induce famine and misery with their envirowhacko fanaticism. After all it’s what they want, they HATE mankind, just like satan. Interestingly, they never include themselves in the number of those whose lives pose a threat to the environmental balance of the planet

Wait until they decide it’s us that’s causing global warming.

And just what is a 30% reduction in production going to do to beef prices, hum-mm? These people are not going to stop, folks, unless we stop them...sooner the better.

Clearly we must make sacrifices of the beasts upon the Altar of Al to appease the Wrath of the Carbon God.

Not only is it a religion, it’s a rather primitive and dysfunctional one.

I heard a moron on some farm program on the radio here in N.Dakota, on KFGO in Fargo, pushing kneecap-and-trade.

The Global Warming Fraud has received TWO death-blows in the last couple of weeks. One of them is the e-mail exposure. The other is the hard data of Dr. Lindzen at MIT, which basically proves that the earth re-radiates heat much faster than the fraudsters claimed.

The IS no global warming. There IS not anthropogenic global warming. There IS no danger from CO2.

EVERYONE who promotes the Global Warming Fraud needs to be challenged. EVERY carwash (there’s one in Fargo that touts their carbon footprint), car maker, and “smart grid” promoter needs to hear from citizens, to STOP the SCAM.

I don’t understand, who is going to win this battle, PETA or Climategate?

hahaha....

To be fair about it, Americans should cull cats to combat climate change. Think about those little creepers carbon footprints. Every supermarket in the country has an aisle devoted to feeding them. Then there is the cat litter. How many tons of that does America mine, process, ship and dispose of every year? And cat toys. They're everywhere.

What good are cats anyways? We aren't allowed to eat them. The fur is no good for anything. If any of us were helping out a relative who slept as much as cats do, we would kick them out of the house.

We could make it entertaining too. Throw them into sinkholes in the Yucatan.
