I WAS RIGHT! I told you all.

also I was kidding about the title... please don't beat me up on the internet.

Get over it already.

I'm cool with people making life choices, but you don't need to try and tell people what to do. And I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but it's just something that really annoys me.

Oh, before everyone starts yelling at me, please don't, I just wanted to post this because I thought it was interesting. I really don't want to be yelled at anymoremoremore

But part of the meat production is still transportation, which is included in the emissions for meat. So I guess when you think about it, it isn't surprising at all.

But I will not change my eating habits because of this.

Screw you, Dr. Pachuari, you're not my father! *eats a pig*

This news isn't new The UN is just stupid for not doing anything. We don't need to stop meat production completely we just need to lessen the amount of cattle being produced. Chicken or Turkey is a good substitute. If you really want a burger get buffalo meat it's grown free range and it's pretty close to how beef taste. It's not too expensive either I know my Safeway sells it.

Funny this was site cited as one of my sources a few months ago when I did a speech about it for a speaking class. So was Earthsave.com.

Osterich is a great beef substitute. It tastes exactly like beef and is super nummy.

But there's no way to stop this. Cows burp/fart Methane. So do sheep and any other 4 stomach animals. Can't be helped when it's nature that's doing the polluting.

Word to that. I haven't had in in awhile though they don't sell it as commonly in the part of Cali where I live.


Well actually there is. The reason there's so many cows is we are producing them to eat. If we didn't make cows for meat consumption there wouldn't be so many and then the amount of pollution would be cut down quite a bit. We are doing things to the Earth it was not built to handle in a sense. Also clearing out acres of rain forest, which produces oxygen, to make room for mo cattle is like throwing newspaper at an already raging fire.

And global warming is just one form of pollution the cows have. The hormones they pump them full of gets washed into the ocean either by us or by the cow crap when it rains and poisons the sea life. Fish is practically uneatable anymore.

And they wouldn't completely ruin the environment with that stuff, how? Big Business doesn't care. It doesn't. That's not news. Even if everyone on Earth were to become a vegetarian, what makes people think that they just wouldn't pump hormones into that stuff too?

I'll admit I haven't given this much thought, or attention, and don't really care to but...

Is this not false economy anyway? The emissions from meat production are high because there is a lot of it...

Hypothetically, if meat were to be stopped being produced then the production of something else would have to go up to replace it, therefore emissions would theoretically stay the same.

no f-ing chance that i'm going to stop eating beef.

i still think emissions from cars and industry are a bigger problem than a bunch of cow farts.

Global Warming is a myth created by politicians to gain kudos from voters.

No that's another battle. Monsanto bought up all the seeds because some jack ass at the copyright company decided you can copyright an organism so they created their own seed that is resistant to their pesticide but it's horribly bad for you and only organic stuff doesn't have it.

But it's sad I grew up eating that stuff and organic stuff tastes funny to me. It taste like it has a chemical taste even though it's everything else that's covered in chemicals.

Oh I agree, I'm cooking a tritip as I type this.

Actually one cow produces more gas then two cars I believe it was. Yeah it's frightening and baffling to think about.

Yes and eating cows is good because they eat grass which cuts down on brush fires in the summer. :roll:

That was something that was actually posted on this website when I did my research. http://www.beeffrompasturetoplate.org/default.aspx

I can see it's now since been removed. I don't know about you but I've noticed it's been getting hotter in the summer.

The faster we eat em, the last chance they have to fart.

Also, I've stopped eating all vegetation entirely, since they clean the air.

While my diet replants the rain forest, Dr. Pussscardi is just trying to save his ass from the wrath of Kalki. *cough*agenda*cough*

I've heard this a few years ago, I think on a Penn & Teller episode. There's not a lot you can do to change than lessen the amount of our cattle.

Agreed. Veal for everyone.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ttle/mm2et.gif Just take one of these and you'll be okay.

Did you really just say that? I don't think you're capable of sarcasm, so excuse me while my head explodes.

...but what about the global cooling they're talking about now? We're going towards a new ice age!

Sorry, to be a tool Machi, but the prefered modern term is "Global Climate Change"...it catches both extremes.

I'm no Geologist, but from what I can gather from a Physics point of view (I am that gay), the ice caps are melting at an alarmingly fast rate. When (I say when and not if) the ice caps fully melt away, the oceans will rise about 25 feet. This may seem like a small number, but there are plenty of locations that are just barely above sea level. This puts those towns and other establishments at high risk.

Now, the argument that we are entering another ice age at some point in the future is the speculation that wind currents will change course once the ice caps are melted away. These winds will freeze water again, creating the ice caps once again...only this time they will be much larger and closer to home than you think.

Of course, this is only what I've heard, and I have nothing to really back it up, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I'll turn off Raph's Girl mode now.

Well, at least youre a useful tool, Jester.. :P and yes, that's the proper term.

Saying JUST one thing is the biggest factor in such a HUGE, billion year old process just doesnt seem logical at all...

Now, while the north pole has been shrinking, they say the south pole is larger than it's EVER been. And where the frozen ice and the melted water have the same density.... the levels would actually change little if anything... Like ice cubes in a glass. You have the same amount of water, no matter what state it's in..

I've heard that if the caps do melt, the levels wouldn't rise near that much, due to the change in density, think of it like like ice melting in a glass not causing the glass to overflow. *shrugs* I ain't a scientist.

EDIT: Curse you Machi...foiled again!

Holy crap, did I walk into a retard convention?

It's true that you have the same amount of water, but there are lots of ice caps that are not seated in water. They exist above the sea level on top of either land or snow. It is these ice caps and glaciers that will make the difference.

Ah, good point. I hadn't taken the landbased waters into consideration.

But the fact that the Antarctic is growing at an enormous rate must be some sort of temperature compensation for what's happening at the other section of the globe. Weather patterns do this all the time...

I'm still wondering which of these is the culprit:

1. The ozone hole allowing unfiltered UV rays to shine on earth, thus making the temperature feel warmer, or...

2. The green house gases keeping the filtered UV rays that have come through from escaping, thus they bounce around, making the earth feel hotter.

GET ME A WHOPPER! :lol:;)

Man, I haven't had a whopper in YEARS.....


If anyone EVER gets the chance... Elk burgers are good. Nice and lean...


((And many thanks to Ai for the debate. That was fun... ;) ))

Stop feeding the damn things Beefarino!

I'm always up for some good intellectual discussion. :)

Alright then, who would win in a fight between Luke Skywalker and Captain America?

Rob Van Dam.

Suppose human farts do that too? If so, I'm pretty sure my Dad's responsible for 70% of that...

I'll have to write some equations, do some calculations and make a final conclusion before getting back to you on that one.

That's a lot of effort to go through just to determine RVD would blind side them both.

Rob Van Dam is a cheater and I'm pretty sure Jean-Claude Van Damme could beat him. That extra 'me' goes a long way.

I don't think I've ever seen GK angry, maybe just annoyed. This post should do it.

No need to be angry, even the best of us would fall against Van Damme. I heard he beat Chuck Norris at dominoes once.

That being said, if I happen to suddenly disappear in the near future, at least you'll know why.
