#1 When we allow immigrants into America, we're taking them from low carbon footprint countries into the highest.

Immigration is killing the planet.

#3 he next best actions are selling your car, avoiding long flights, and eating a vegetarian diet.

Let see, 20 minutes to work by car vs three some hours to work by bus, yea right.

Long flight, get there in matter of hours, instead of days, not to mention everybody flying actually generate less CO2 than if all those passengers drove.

Eating a vegetarian diet, now it is clear that the autors have no clue what they are talking about. Just about every vegetarians I know makes all kind of rude noises, generating more methane, CO2 and aromas in the process.

The researchers must have degrees in French poetry or something, not real science degrees.

#4 The next best actions are selling your car, avoiding long flights, and eating a vegetarian diet.

Let me guess. The author lives in a crowded city with lots within walking distance and has no comprehension of farming or food distribution. It just magically appears on local store shelves. Like turn on that switchy thingy and light appears.

#5 If the Clintons, Gores, Pelosis, Schumers et al had fewer children, it would be a good start...

#7 They should set an example by killing their children (if they've been so rude as to have them) and then kill themselves.

Usually when people say there are too many people in the world, they mean there are top many OTHER people.

#9 I was on a vegetarian diet once. Had to quit; they tasted nutty and I was hungry an hour later.

#10 Try telling it to the Muslims.

What? They're just trying to help climate alarmists live according to their own advice.

#11 I was on a vegetarian diet once

The secret to a successful vegetarian diet is to remember that salami grow on trees.

#12 Given that Britain's Princess Katherine just commented she is considering having a third, joining Ivanka Trump and any number of younger Hollywood actresses, I have to imagine in general the trend will soon be in the opposite direction, except among the SJW class. And as society would benefit from having fewer humourless scolds, I have no quarrel with either choice.

#13 ..taking the first 10 minutes of Idiocracy as a users manual. I think the non-SJW population can live with that.

#14 Good to know g(r)om, didn't like the taste of vegetarians.

Was living at a place where the person cooking did one of those Folger Switches on me. Instead of chicken lo mein I was served that textured/flavored tofu. Person had been touting this stuff for a week and had a smirk when setting so I was clued in, especially after looking at it. Person was lucky, because if I had bitten into 'meat' with the texture of a turned grape I would have wretched right there on the serving dish. Seriously, cottage cheese would have been a more convincing 'meat'.
