Flatulence Control for Climate Control

Climate chief Lord Stern: give up meat to save the planet

Just when you thought it was safe to cut into that juicy steak the animal flatulence scare rears its ugly head again – emphasis on rears.

“Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”
~Lord Stern of Brentford

We now have a British economist, Lord Stern of Brentford a former chief economist of the World Bank, claiming cows and pigs are responsible for producing methane from their flatulence that is a significant source of greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming. That’s all we need, a British version of Al Gore. Will there be a sequel to Gore’s movie, “An Inconvenient Truth?” How about, “An Inconvenient Odor.” And that odor seems to be emanating from the BS that’s piling up from those with warped theories of a climatic doomsday.

Where do these people of supposedly higher intelligence gin up these outrageous claims without scientific proof? Could it be a case of mad cow disease?

How about the human factor. If we decrease our meat and increase our vegetable intake will we not annihilate ourselves through self-flatulence?

To this I say, “Save the planet and humankind – fire up the grill and eat more meat.”
