#2 If the report is even somewhat true, then it's the livestock causing all the greenhouse gases.

If we do not eat the livestock, then they will be overpopulated and caused even more greenhouse gases.

PETA is a joke.

#4 The best and easiest way for Mr. Gore to show his critics that hes truly committed to fighting global warming is to kick his meat habit immediately.

Well, at least Al could lose some weight then, lol! Of course, it reminds me of an overweight co-worker I have that's vegetarian (he's Indian). One of our other co-workers got fed up with his "holier than thou" veggie attitude and told him, "Shut up! You're the fattest vegetarian I know!"

#7 Pogo comic strip, some years ago, had a thread running for a while on pollution. Well, the denizens of the swamp decided that there was too much CO2 pollution, so they started a campaign for non-breathing. May I suggest the same for all the above characters in the article, heh.

#8 Law of conservation of methane production? After all, the meat animals produce methane as a side effect of digesting plant material. Those who go directly to the source will surely produce waste methane from their own digestive processes.

#11 You can't factor in bovine farts without considering what a change in diet would do with human methane production.

I find it hard to believe that all the cows in the world eating grass could compete with the humans if we shifted over to beans and cabbage.

#12 The greatest greenhouse gas is water vapor, making up 95% of the total. All this talk about CO2 (4%), methane (>1%) and all others (>1%) is a crock. The oceans account for 80% of all water vapor (the rest comes from rivers, streams, snowcover, vegetation, etc.), and about 75% of all CO2 released. Peta is just being their normal arrogant, overbearing, and wrong, self-serving twits.

#14 Cows cause global warming? But, but.... cows are vegetarians. So it's vegetarians that produce methane. Vegetarians cause global warning.

We better eat all the vegetarians.

#15 So, OP, if we go onto the hydrogen economy, we're doomed, right? Burn hydrogen and oxygen and you get dihyrogen monoxide. The worst greenhouse gas of the lot. We're doomed---doomed, I tell ya!

#16 Ages ago there used to be a sect/cult/buncholooneys that claimed to eat nothing but air.

I'm not certain if they still exist...

#17 Thinemp Whimble2412, cows are definitely tasty, but not so sure about bipedal vegetarians. How about supplying them to zoos to feed their carnivore exhibits?

#18 Works for me twobyfour, except for the Bhuddists. Never order Chinese, those people are all gristle. Even Komodos won't eat 'em.
