#1 Eat more meat and disband the UN - that will help the world more than anything else.

Just think of all the hot air emissions that would be avoided.

#2 This article was also posted yesterday and, as I noted then, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri is a strict vegetarian and Hindu according to his Wikipedia bio. I'll cut back on meat when he gets serious enough to start killing cows.

#3 So, Darrell, it seems that we are in a vegan standoff. But for Gawd sakes, man, put down that Zippo!

#4 I'll eat bison instead.
And chicken.

And try to make Dr. Pachauri carbon neutral.

#5 This thinking is backwards. We must start eating more hamburgers or the world will be overrun by farting cows.

#8 These guys can drive you nutz. I took a High Caste Brahman (who worked for me at that time) out to lunch. We didn't have any Hindu specialty restaurants nearby so I took him to a Thai place. He ordered a vegi curry. When it came he wouldn't eat it. I asked what the problem was, "Well what's this white stuff (tofu) and what are these..(mushroom)"
Well, my guru hasn't ruled on tofu but he has ruled that mushrooms are animal.
I said "But mushrooms are in the Fungi Phylum they are not animal or veg". He said. "It doesn't matter. My guru does not accept the western phylum and states that there are only 2 phylum (animal and veg) and mushrooms are most definitely animal. "
So I asked if he could eat bread as it his yeast in it and yeast is a fungi. "The guru has ruled yeast veg."

ARGH!!!

#9 When I had him over for a picnic the wife made him food he could safely eat. The cat made an appearance with a half dead large rabbit in her mouth.

He never ate with me again!

#12 Here's a question...if put up a giant plastic bubble over the UN building and make sure it's air tight...how much less carbon and other so called greenhouse gasses will be stopped when all inside expire? Think of all the cars, jets and other things they do that destroy the planet. Oh and all those saved trees from all the paper they stop using to write their crap on.
