Good luck getting the world to not eat meat.

So, what are they going to do with the cattle, chickens, and pigs that are for the meat industry? Just kill them and then cremate them or let them rot? Doing that to them releases gases too.
 
It's not going to happen.. And did people ever think that the food crisis is not because we eat meat, but because the world is way too over populated with humans?
 
Are you serious man? that's your clever argument against this? That the current population of live stock exists? I'll be damned if I make an effort to save the world for idiots like you.
 
Man, someone gets fucking butthurt about people cracking jokes in the morning. I'm sorry, here is your pacifier.

And fuck you, shit like this won't work cause not everyone will agree, people will yell about their "freedoms/rights being taken away" and do you really think you can get the 3rd world to follow some shit like this?
 
Sorry there are things I will do to help but being asked to not eat meat is where I draw a pretty bold line.
 
the argument for being a vegetarian (meat is inefficient use of resources) is pretty compelling.... but meat is far too delicious for me to ever give it up.
 
sounds like a plan that still needs to be thought throughyou cant make the world change their diet
im vegetarian , but there are somedays i crave for a mcChickensomeone tell me how to make everything taste like a mcChicken????p.s. no hate towards all those that eat meat do what you want
 
Eating meat does not make much sense on a global scale, so much food goes into making so much less food in meat. Unfortunately, it is also fucking delicious, traditional, and instinctual, so I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.
 
I'm sure PETA already does this. Does anyone remember the listeria outbreak?

Anyways, we cannot deny that eating meat will eventually lead to some sort of progress trap.
 
It is a valid point, why put restrictions on automobiles when cattle contribute a greater quantity of green house gas.

The whole food industry is pretty messed up in general, what we are eating is not healthy and things need to be done to change this. There are cattle farms now that have the ability to collect the methane and process the waste into energy but these are a very small percentage. There is also some research going on to literally grow meat on a network or nutrition supplying tubes. It is working but with mixed results.

But humans are human because of meat, super high energy concentration allowed us to grow and power our large brains, with out meat this just wouldn't work. I think the solutions (which will be prompted by high fuel prices) will be localized food production where each community has a stake (no pun intended) in producing their own food. High tech cattle facilities will utilize methane gathering systems to heat the barns and provide energy. The super corporate scheme produces super low quality mass produced food which then has to be shipped thousands of miles using energy and time doesn't work and is making us sick and damaging the environment.
 
imagine the outrage if we told the english that they had to give up tea and start brushing their teeth to save the planet?

what a bunch of hippies.
 
I really want to know if the views of Newschoolers on the topic of vegetarianism are representative of the US and canada as a whole. I can never tell if the extreme anti vegetarianism views are a joke, but if they aren't its pretty disgusting how brain washed and lame all of you are. I'm not saying im perfect but the logic behind vegetarianism is basically fool proofed. If people would open up their minds to consuming even half the meat they do now the environmental impacts would be enormous. I urge the people on this sight to open up their minds slightly and try going for a few meals or even a few days a week as a vegetarian. I believe if you guys realized how small of a deal it is versus the impact it has most of you would stick with it.
 
Too bad we have no effect on the warming of earths atmosphere. Im not here to tell people their wrong, but to tell what I believe. I thing that this "warming" is just a cycle of the earth that has happened dozens of times during earths existence. (ranging back to billions of years ago). Now are we causing all of this with our emissions? nah. It doesn;t help! but its not the reason why this is happening. We can not stop it, its inevitable. Its part of earths cycle. if you dont understand, google that shit. MANY scientists disagree with the whole "al gore idea on global warming". And yes, I have watched his 2 hour presentation on global warming when he presented it to a select group in China. Just my two cents.
 
Just curious how you explain the almost exact correlation between CO2 levels and temperature over the past 100-200 years?
 
Might be a natural cycle, doesn't change the fact that CO2 contributes to global warming and is accelerating the heating of the earth. The direct correlation between CO2 and global temperature is one indication, these levels could be cause or result but I am leaning on cause.

And every climatologist agrees that we are in a period of heating and C02 is linked to this cycle so there is no counter point to that so don't try.

I find it pretty remarkable that people are denying this based on what I can only assume is political motives. All the evidence is in and it points to C02 being linked with global temperature.

It is easy to see in the geological record as well. Almost all of the shore face and deep oil shale deposits were deposited in a period of time when the earth was very warm and the energy of the heat pumps on the poles were weak thus making the seas stagnant. This oxygen depleted sea allowed masses of dead animals to accumulate on the sea floor and eventually form oil. There are sections of present day ocean that are experiencing this phenomena and these areas are growing. The polar sea ice will completely disappear in 2025.

There are several things that could happen that could make this bad situation much worse. For example the loss of sea ice allows the ocean to store much more heat creating a run away situation. As the ocean warms methane hydrate will begin to be released further exacerbating the situation until the earth gets to a point that it hasn't seen since the early Cretaceous.

If we know anything about nature it should be that it is a fragile cycle. It is stupid to think that releasing tons of green house gas into the atmosphere wouldn't cause a warming trend, have you stupid fuckers even looked at the data, shit. We are causing a warming trend and we need to do something about it or in the next hundred years shit will hit the fan.

And maybe I am wrong, I hope I am wrong, but what is with the opposition when every piece of data points in the same direction.
 
NS's level of understand what is and isn't a person just being a jerk cracking a joke has reached an all time low. Shut the fuck up.
 
And you haven't been here for more than a year, so, in conclusion, shut the fuck up and get your sarcasm meter checked fucknuts.
 
Not really true. There is a natural balance on the planet between emissions and absorption. The CO2 naturally emitted can be considered to be a net 0. That is all of the CO2 naturally emitted is absorbed and very little goes into the atmosphere. However human emitted CO2 does not have a negative balancing force so it goes directly into the atmosphere. It took the planet millions of years to achieve this balance and can not adapt at the rate that we are releasing C02.

So you are right in that the total emitted might be only 4% but that translates to a much higher level of CO2 in the atmosphere acting as a greenhouse gas.
