Topic: UN body to look at meat and climate link

[sam]

UN specialists are to look again at the contribution of meat production to climate change, after claims that an earlier report exaggerated the link.

I don't agree with the phrase "Less meat = less heat". - but I do see that there has to be link. More plants = more taken in CO2. I also wonder quite how much fuel is used in farming....

If I have to give up my steaks, Sam, I'm going to cry.

None scheduled at the moment.  Need to eat some freezer stock.

[Rik]

We just did.

If we started to eat Vegans we could save the planet by killing two birds with one stone, stop the overpopulation of the world and cut down the amount of greenhouse gasses they produce, as presumably they must produce much more methane than meat eaters do

[Rik]

 

My ancestors used to do just that, Sandra.

Urban legend, me thinks.

I like your radical thinking Sandra.  Sam would feed a family of four for 2 months.

One think I aint a freaking Vegan :-D

[Sandra]

Thats why I said Vegans and not Veggies Sam.
Although I suppose if we started getting low on Vegans then we would have to move on to Veggies later, especially as the health nazis are always telling us to eat more veggies
