Sigh!

First it was cows, and now this...Oh my!



What I think she means to say is that the majority of the people are the majority contributors to global warming!

I am not even sure where I should start, what an obnoxious viewpoint. One thing that is quite obvious is that skinny vegetarians are not very articulate, nor can they string a train of thought together. How do I know, well just listen to her...She can't be the exception to the rule can she?

There are some very valid points that can be made parallel to her argument without blaming it on obese people. Over consumption does aggravate global warming, as energy would be wasted in making products (food or otherwise) that would be used without benefit. I don't think anyone would argue that American couldn't use a little modification of their resource usage and we all could find ways to be more efficient with our use of resources. But wouldn't the consumption of calories just to sweat them off on a treadmill be classified as wasteful, especially considering most treadmills also take electricity? Would this ultimately end up with an anorexic
'green' society?

It appalls me that educated people can be so clueless as to what cost they are forgetting when it comes down to global climate reform. How many years do we need to use a solar panel before we recover the energy that it took to create the panel? Is the assumption that the earth is an infinite heat source/sink valid? If we all switched over to vegetarianism (complete genocide of the cow) would that ultimately stop this climate change? What if we turned off all our air conditions (which reject heat from our space to the environment) would that slow down the climate change? Do we even have a clue what we are trying to accomplish, or are we a blundering along like a blind man looking for the power switch in a wood shop full of running power tools without safety guards?
