#3 So tell me, do the cows yet outnumber the vast, massive herds of buffalo that used to roam the US? How much methane did they emit? And since your version of climate change is a fraud, do we really even care or should we care just enough to burn these people at the stake?

#4 Think of the Children™! When we start colonizing the rest of the Solar System we want those (great- ?) grand-children to enjoy a nice juicy steak made to order from vat-grown protein. Hopefully they will get it cooked correctly at the time, say Medium-Rare instead of Well Done...

#5 Look at the riots against the gas tax in Paris. Now.. imagine what happens when these MORONS try to take away beef!

#7 In the 1973 sci-fi classic "Soylent Green," Charlton Heston's character faces a dystopian future in which a protein made from plankton is grown in test tubes to sustain an overpopulated Earth

Except they moved on to other resources to make 'food'.

You a vegan? The Soylent Corporation is looking to expand a new 'organic' division. Think of it as a way to put less stress on old Mother Earth.

#8 Think about it. Overpopulation and Climate Change - a pair of self-solving problems.

Climate Change would solve the Overpopulation problem which would stop climate change...

#9 So when Roman England was 1C warmer than today, was that the cows? Or was it the Roman SUVs?

So confused...

#10 Crazy Fool, climate change is ongoing and natural, not like the faux "man-made" climate change the federally funded Lysenkoists proclaim.

#11 Thirty-odd years ago, an article in Scientific American traced the beginning of agriculture - and cows - 8,000 years ago, to the start of a warming trend (not yet tagged climate change). The graph suggested were it not for the cow flatulence, we'd be smack in the middle of another ice age right now.

There's no news like recycled news!

#12 Since we're likely heading for another ice age, I for one, welcome our bovine saviors especially medium rare filet mignon with an abundance of Hollandaise.

#14 They'll have to pry my cheeseburger from my cold dead hands... Yes really, They'll have to pry my cheeseburger from my cold dead hands

Because likely I'd have a heart attack first before this nonsense actually happens.
