Besides... Crunch Wrap Supremes at Taco Bell with beans instead of meat are just as tasty.

...is that it's a theory of EVERYTHING; much like the Gods were to the ancients (and god is to the modern snake handler). If it rains, it's global warming. If it doesn't, it's global warming. If it's cold, it's global warming! If it's hot, it's global warming! If it snows, it's global warming! If it doesn't, it's global warming! If there are fires in the forests, it's global warming! If there aren't, it's global warming! If there's a hurricane, it's global warming! If there isn't, it's global warming! If there's a tornado, it's global warming! If there's not, it's global warming! If the glaciers are melting in Iceland, it's global warming! If they're not in Greenland, it's global warming!

It's the theory of everything and like early theories of God it's simply a way for the lazy to avoid having to think about difficult questions. Bah. Go to bed.

The term "global warming" is taken to mean, by the average idiot to be "global WARMING", and they think that colder-than-normal weather is proof that global warming doesn't exist.

The problem is that "global warming" is a badly named term to cover erratic global climate CHANGE due to increased greenhouse gases.

The actual effects can be warming, cooling, flooding, volcanoes, everything environmental.

But despite that, it does seem to be a convenient catch-all for any abnormal activity that could possibly be explained by other phenomena.

However, everything that's happening IS nicely covered by the collection of theories that are contained within the poorly named, but accurately theorized "global warming".

Other than if an ice sheet melted releasing pressure on a fault that causes an eruption. But that's about it.

Then you don't see how the religion of global warming works. Anytime the weather changes from something people don't expect (which it has been doing since we started tracking the weather) then it is due to global warming.

*read article, thinks for a second then dies horribly from asphyxiation caused by uproarus laughter*

If my ability to enjoy consuming the flesh of other critters creates X (where X is actually quite negligable) amount of green house gases, then so be it. I enjoy a 'side' salad every now and then....but nothing, NOTHING will force me to give up my carnivorous cravings.

Necromasta out.

We've known that commercial cattle farming has this effect for a long time. Maybe not with these exact numbers, but whatever.

So why don't we just stick a cork in their ###holes and cut them up. When we're done carving what we want just eject the bloated carcass into space.

See, now all the meat eaters and tree-huggers can be happy.

Greever, the great compromiser.

I would think the vaccum of space would freeze-dry the meat, making it good forever until you cooked it.

I heartily agree... though I'm not sure there is a spice/marinade that could make that taste good.

You'd be suprised what a little curry powder and wasabi will do for things that are questionable. Ofcourse we could always make sure they are well-done.

I can think of many other religions that operate the same way... It's because of "God".
It's because of "Allah". Etc. So your choice of the word "religion" fits perfectly for Your argument.

However, once again, it's NOT religion... it's science. It's being convoluted by religion of course as they normally like to convolute the truth into thruthiness. It's what 'works' for them. :D

I am certain, that one day, at least 75% of the people that have posted here will cut down, or remove beef products from their diet. For health reasons alone. You HAVE been warned. Enjoy your shortened lives. Of course if greed (quantity) is more important to you than contentment (quality) go for it.

People in our world hold the same views to WoW. But personally, <3 to eat cow.
