Yes, that should work.

Glenn Beck on Global Warming and Eating Meat. Back in 2007.

So, Al Gore agrees with PETA that eating meat is worse for the planet than car/bus/plane/train/space shuttle carbon emissions COMBINED.

But, as of Good Morning America today, he still won't go vegetarian for the sake of the planet.

Hmm.

But who is John Galt? :D

As far as I understand it, it's the WAY we've been raising cattle for food that's the problem? Most livestock raised for food in CAFOs are fed a mix of corn and housed in closed quarters, which leads to all the crazy methane gas the livestock emit (not to mention all the diseases and junk that humans can catch since the cows are practically stewing in their own feces). The better alternative would be to let the cattle roam free and eat grass/forage, their proper diet.

Lol Beck and PETA, two hyperbolic/radical "let's deliberately misconstrue this in a way that benefits us the most" extremes.

Not to mention polar opposites? :b

But aren't cows still going to fart? o_O

Apparently it's the diet that makes their farts particularly toxic! Here's the UN article I think Beck was referencing: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=20772&Cr=global&Cr1=warming

I see, I see. *nods*

And here I thought a fart was a fart as far as methane was concerned. I do no that no two farts smell the same, however!

PETA is a group of terrorists that fire-bomb labs and terrorize people who hunt for food.

The largest creators of carbon dioxide are forest fires and volcanoes.

Also, Al Gore talks about saving energy when he uses 4 times more than the average American.

Just to point out some fun information most people don't ever mention. ;D

This post reminds me of an article I read last year about the Australian government recommending that people far and eat more KANGAROO on account that the animals produce less methane gas. Kangaroo sound tasty, eh? Now I'm hungry. :(

AND Carbon Dioxide isn't even the cause of global warming Climate change. THE PLANET IS.

I've had ostrich before - it's not that tasty. I wonder what Kangaroo might be like? I heard McDonald's used to use it.
