RE: Cow 'emissions' more damaging to planet than CO2 from cars

I think chicken flatulence is right behind cow flatulence in the livestock category.

The report concludes that, unless drastic changes are made, the massive damage done by livestock will more than double by 2050, as demand for meat increases.

You have to stand in awe of the utter fools who make these grand predictions based on very small samplings and incorrect assumptions. No one, beside me, who posts here will remember the dire predictions that came at us almost daily in the late 1960s and early 1970s. We would run out of arable land by the late 1990s. We would be out of so-called "fossil fuels" by the year 2000. Population growth would exceed world food production and famines would be widespread by 2010. These cocktail-circuit characters make their grand pronouncements to curry favor with their peers, but the simpletons in government who gobble this stuff up are bent on making life miserable for the rest of us while they acquire more power.

I remember reading recently that trees actually account for only slightly less carbon dioxide than does livestock. So, Uncle Al, are you ready to fire up the chainsaw and head out into the woods?
