Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, September 06, 2008

People should consider eating less meat as a way to tackle global warming, says the UN's top climate scientist. "Direct emissions from meat production account for about 18% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions," Rajendra Pachauri told BBC News. "So I want to highlight the fact that among options for mitigating climate change, changing diets is something one should consider."

My girlfriend will not take kindly to me following this advise. Nor would I look upon it with happiness.

Play with global warming in your way and I will find warmth my way.

makes me want to go shoot a moose, out of season

Shoot 'em all, Vern. Ruminants produce most of that carbon dioxide.

Asking people to change their lifestyles? That's never worked.

I've always wanted to bow-hunt moose. Funny we're talking about cow farts because moose calls sound just like a nice long ripping beer fart the morning after.

RCADE, I'm sure as the price of gasoline eventually skyrockets again after the Israelis attack Iran, folks will be looking for alternatives to beef -- either out of necessity or otherwise.

There's also university studies being done with bacteria, enzymes, etc. that would somehow neutralize the methane released in cow farts. Guess I'm an optimist.

Disagree. My advice is for those who can, get some sheep and raise and slaughter them yourself. It is quite rewarding to have animals on your property. You see the life cycle, babies born, but you know you are going to eat them, which makes it all sobering-- as life should be every now and then.

I usually slaughter about ten to twenty sheep a year-- about five are for myself for personal consumption. The others are usually for Christians or Muslims doing the Eid or Easter thing. Also some neighbors and I go in on belted galloway or murray gray beef cows and split them up two or four ways. Those cows i am partial to because they are naturally hornless so they are easier to deal with when you need to slaughter them.

I tried my hand at chickens a few years back but they aren't interesting to me, though having a few around to lay eggs is nice. With sheep and goats there's a bit more personality there. I also raise rabbits and they are good for stews as well, and they are cute.

I do go out and get a deer every now and then, though my aim has suffered recently. I am not real partial to deer becausde I have more problems cleaning them. the blood is more difficult to remove whereas a sheep you can cut the throat and let the still beating heart do the work fro you and drain all the blood. From there cleaning is a snap and usually takes about an hour.

Deer meat is good as jerky if you are a big fan of worcestershire sauce as I am.

Yeah reduce meat eating and Hindus will be glad. Its consequence will be global economic crisis --- India is poorer because of the Hindu lifestyle.

Well, the UN might as well admonish people to stop having sex.

99.9 % of the world will continue eating meat anyway.

F You VEGINAZIS,I love those delicious meat type animals.Shove your manboob tofu right up shore big poop chutes.

Actually, more people could be fed without meat as it takes less resources. Not that anyone cares.

When China, India and Brazil are as needy as we are, more people will start to care.

Eliminate chicken and millions around the world will be jobless. Just one example.

beekeeper - please tell me you DON'T put that in your jerky brine?

IT wouldn't pass in Peoria, but if environmental impact fees were assessed on everything that had some adverse impacts, from fertilizer to gasoline, then people would think twice about a lot of things they take for granted.

Quit having babies and WIN global warming, many pollution problems, the cost of everything, traffic congestion, and the class war. Improving our education wouldn't hurt either.

But the Rethuglicans don't want people to WIN these things. They just want to WIN the class war they're waging. They don't really even care about winning in Iraq, Afghanstan or their next fiasco, Iran. They just want to drive everyone else into the poorhouse, so they can be a litle bit richer and more powerful.

Stupid fucking liars.

We don't need to do a darned thing... the worlds been getting cooler for the last ten years. 1998 was supposedly the hottest year on record (and don't bring up 1934, we like to forget that year)

Maybe we should be pumping out MORE greenhouse gasses to keep from freezing our butts off, seeing how the lack of sunspot activity could bring on the next little ice age.

"the worlds been getting cooler for the last ten years. 1998 was supposedly the hottest year on record"

Make shit up much?

Temp record: data.giss.nasa.gov

1998 was #3.

Lying pile of shit.

this makes me want to eat a big fat steak tonight.... I think I will... Infact I want to eat beef all week...

global warming.. the biggest load of shit.... the sky is falling... the sky is falling....

After hearing what the UN has to say about not eating meat, I'm going back on the Atkins all meat diet. Our ancestors were hunters (meat eaters). I'm having moose tonight!

Abort all the babies and I'll believe you're serious.

Your response is a little touchy, Zat. Consider this...

"sources: GHCN 1880-07/2008 (meteorological stations only)
using elimination of outliers and homogeneity adjustment"

Seems your source isn't as "Global" as you'd think. A few well placed stations and we can make the people believe anything!

"Lying pile of shit"

So 1998 was #3, sheesh its what a liberal friend of mine was touting. Its still been cooler 8 of the ten years since. Even according to your descredited source.

Instead of worrying about what other people are doing why don't these douches fly coach once in a while?

Libs will love this guy..

Your link dosen't say that. It says they had the hottest day, not the same.

31,000 scientists reject 'global warming' agenda

By Bob Unruh
2008 WorldNetDaily
More than 31,000 scientists across the U.S. including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties have signed a petition rejecting "global warming," the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth's climate.
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition states. "Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

"Your link dosen't(sic) say that. "

Stupid fuckwit can't even spell doesn't.

Data: data.giss.nasa.gov

You're fucked, goober.
Deal with it.

Based on girth, when St. Al Gore goes vegan (and I will certainly be able to tell), I'll be right there with him.

The fools on the left are raging toward Armageddon.

As the initial first tests of bringing humanity to it's knees have ended with great result, the morons on the left cheer it on.

We have now seen how a world leader can be undermined as he attempts to save the economy of his country, save the energy structure that is required to run the countries vital needs, hospitals, military, etc. .Our enemies are knocking, lining up to pick the bones clean.
We do not need obama/biden to hasten the weakening of America.

America stood by obliviously as the cost of food and fuel was driven to the point that alot of Americans could not afford both and must buy 1 or the other. The day is coming that these events will be driven to a new high, resulting in the deaths of billions.

The U.S.Constitution has been a protector, defender of peoples worldwide, the left's continual assault of it has brought it's greatness, which was second only to the Bible, to a document that could be scribbled on a piece of toilet paper by a 3rd world banana republic, by promoting it as a living, breathing, warm and fuzzy entity. The U.S. Constitution (originally written)was a guarantee to all Americans that their pursuit of freedom and happiness would be held steadfast.

The left has turned this country over to 38 million illegals, they have the same level of hate of America that they do, they are here to take whatever spoils possible.They bancrupt the entitlement programs which were designed by the left to siphon off wealth from the hard working Americans.

The left now offers up their version of a greek god to run for the greatest office on Earth, the presidency of the United States of America, being demeaned by an individual that uses his race as the only prerequisite to that office, that it is owed to him.

The clock is ticking, those of you that are on the fence as to which side of the political spectrum you will rally behind, better take a hard look at both, which side really inspires hope, freedom, pursuit of happiness, change that is real.

As the hollywood elite line-up behind the nominee of the left, ask yourselves one question," WHY "? The enemies of America have found their way into all America's media, they are useful tools, but at the end of the day, don't you and your's have the same talents, but not allowed within the elite society, did you ever stop and ask " why "? The major prerequisite is that you have to hate America, undermine her greatness, say obnoxious things about her. We have the greatest country ever, it has financially supported the whole world, from the hard work of Americans.

Once our U.S. Constitution is not used to validate the laws of the land we will become just another 3rd world marxist shithole.

The tests are over, which event will set the wheels in motion?

I did not rise to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian (an ancient Indian word meaning 'poor hunter').

From your link zat.

Best estimate for absolute global mean for 1951-1980 is 14C = 57.2F,

It is an estimate done by someone. It is not a fact.
******************
In the United States, the calendar year 1998 ranked as the hottest of them all until someone checked the math. After a Toronto skeptic tipped NASA this month to one flaw in its climate calculations, the U.S. agency ordered a full data review. Days later, it put out a revised list of all-time hottest years. The Dust Bowl year of 1934 now ranks as hottest ever in the U.S. not 1998.
More significantly, the agency reduced the mean U.S. "temperature anomalies" for the years 2000 to 2006 by 0.15 degrees Celsius.

**************

How is your data?

******************

Calling me names doesn't change the facts that global warming is a bunch of BS
We have so little history on temp around the world that any data about that is questinable.

"The fools on the left are raging toward Armageddon."

WTF do you care? Or aren't you one of those born-agains who can't wait to be raptured?

For all of those who think the West is having the most babies, look at THE FACTS.

Fact -- Western Europe and the old Soviet European nations are on the course to a population crash. Their birthrate is so close to zero that the majority population in their kindergartens by 2015 or so will be children of immigrants. By 2025, their social welfare systems will collapse under the weight of unfunded obligations to support the relatively huge transformation of the population from employed status to retired status.

Fact -- The Middle East nations lead the world in fertility, producing more than 4 children per female, and in the case of Saudi Arabia and Yemen and Palestine, over 6 children per woman. In addition, the middle eastern tradition of marrying young girls, early pregnancy, and polygamy has led to the fastest growing populations in the world today, with those countries' populations doubling every 16 years!! That means quadrupling every 31 years and increasing by a factor of 32X every century.

Woo hoo!

fight global warming.. burn a republican

fight global warming.. burn a republican

Oh, but then you couldn't blame it on a republican could you??

Stupid fucktwit.

You morons are so full of shit you need waders to walk to the mailbox.

The sheer stupidity of your ilk dying due to global warming is the only thing that will be a positive from this whole debacle.

Its not "questinable" .You can sample ice cores tens of thousands of years to approximate the atmospheric gases and subsequent temperature variations.

Oh, but then you couldn't blame it on a republican could you??

Stupid fucktwit.

I sure will due to lack of funding, understanding, belief or action on the part of republicans in the united states.

If you fall into any of those categories.. yeah I blame you and hold you individually and personally responsible.

Cry us a bigger river pussy.

There is no difference in the 2 parties fucktwit. You will perhaps learn that someday.

just as soon as it stops tasting like chicken.


As an ex Republican voter I can not understand we so many Republicans try to deny global warming.The consensus is around the world that it exists--fighting it wil get you nowhere. The world accepts it and it is now a global economy.I thought republicans believed in open Markets.If we are behing on the green revolution we may be left behind economically and cease to have the same econmic power

Republicans should accept it.It is a great opportunity to make loads of cash analogous to dotcom era not to mention that decreasing carbon emissions may save this crazy planet

hell...the more moose i eat...the less deciduous trees they eat..the more oxygen generated...case closed.......and moose garlic sausage rox !
