Selfish vegitarians

I’m sick and tired of the selfishness of vegetarians.

It is a well known fact that cow farts cause global warming. The least we could do is eat and finish off the surviving population of cows so we can save our planet. Vegetarians not only refuse to contribute to the solution… they try and stop the rest of us from saving our environment!

I don’t know about you… But I want this planet to be around for my children and grandchildren. I’m totally fed up with the selfishness of some people. It’s like they try and intentionally block solutions and progress.

The science is in! It’s time to act! It is our responsibility.

Cute.

Not in the least. Do you hate the environment? Do you hate children? :wink:

“Recently, NOAA scientists finally concluded that four factors determined global temperatures: carbon dioxide levels, volcanic eruptions, Pacific El Nino pattern, and the Sun’s activity.”

So where does methane fit in? Or are you being funny?

5

Well, Methane is a greenhouse gas. But you don’t even need science to prove it.

Here, follow my logic. It is warm inside the cow right? If it releases air from its butt that air is warmed up. = global warming

Also, cows breathe. = CO2 = global warming.

6

Yeah, but a volcano produces rivaling co2 levels in a single eruption…not too mention the heat output of the sun… :character-spamcan:?

7

I agree you should eat the rest of the problem you created.

8

You do realize that all animals excrete methane, right? Methane is also a relatively green renewable fuel source.

9

Methane a really ‘potent’ greenhouse gas.

What? Firstly, I don’t understand what you mean. Secondly, We should all contribute to the solution. Stop pointing fingers.

10

We should probably kill some humans too because they fart and exhale carbon dioxide…

11

+1 for cannibalism

12

Indeed it is, but that does not negate the fact that it is, most assuredly, a relatively green fuel source.

By the way, it is a “relatively” potent greenhouse gas. If this equates to “really” in the negative, the same must be done for the positive, i.e. if it is a really potent greenhouse gas then it follows that it is a really green fuel source. Seeing as this is the case, cows should be maintained in enclosures where their methane can be farmed rather than slaughtered to be consumed in large quantities or made extinct (is this your implication?), especially in light of the detrimental health effects red meat has on humans. Thank you, have a nice day.

13

Did ye know that by far the largest proportion of methane from cows comes out of their mouths when they burp.

14

Yes. We need to be selective though… People that exercise contribute significantly more CO2 because they breathe more. We could start with them. Secondly, we could do away with “active” people… the ones that are always going on trips, vacations etc… (they contribute CO2 because of their means of transportation)

I like where your train of thought is going.

15

also atheltic people, and also fat people (because they start hyperventilating when they walk 2 feet, ya know)

16

Yes, they have to go.

Also… Polar bears. They are pretty big fat and flatulent…

17

you know, i think i have a great solution: if we just get rid of air…well…think about it?

18

Makes sense.

19

Or, we could stop breathing. That may work.

20

Or we could just polute the atmosphere to the point where we have to mechanically clean it so that then we can sell it off to the rich or who we want… and let the rest die…
