See, this is why there’s no half-assed eco-fighting. It’s vegan-diet, bike-riding, medieval-living, shallow-breathing, barely-existing ecomania, or else let the world go to hell in a handbasket. (What the hell is a handbasket, by the way?) About the meat-eating thing:
Cows and other ruminants, such as sheep and goats, release methane and nitrous oxide in amounts that put to shame the carbon dioxide belched out by cars. In fact, a red-meat-eater in a Prius is probably hurting the environment more than a vegan in a Hummer.
Really? Well then we’re all fucked. Here’s my message to humanity:
“Breathing, moving, reproducing, eating and living in general release more greenhouse gases than any other activities. If we are to avert climate change disaster, we must cease these activities as soon as possible. Tax incentives should be offered to those who can learn to breathe less, or not at all. Thank you. By the way, don’t think this is about stifling the progress of humanity; on the contrary, it’s about returning humanity to its pre-industrial roots, *COUGH*, sorry, I’ve almost met my breathing limit, gotta go *COUGH*, join me again for another message when I address those of you who are left, er, I mean, *COUGH* those of you who are interested in saving the planet. Thank you.”
