Eat Less Meat, Reduce Global Warming -- or Not

The U.N. always seems to find a way to show the Stupidity and their Ignorance !
Just like their ploy to get the U.S to drink less clean water last year so that Desert dwellers could have some clean water , now they try to tell us to eat less meat so that we may help curb the big lie called Global warming .

Michigans Governor Granholm , threw out a Proclamation on Saturday March 20th , of a no meat day , Hunters and farmers responded with a massive BBQ on the lawn of the state capital which helped force her to resend and rename it to an Agricultural day !

The U.N ought to stick with what they do best "Corruption" and Sheltering terrorist Countries from sanctions .

Save the planet, eat less meat ... right? That's what the U.N. said, anyway, but one scientist has a grade A beef with that claim.

The largely reported link between global warming and cattle farming -- propagated by a United Nations report on "Livestock's Long Shadow" -- was also largely inaccurate, explains one scientist.

In a presentation before the 239th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, Dr. Frank Mitloehner of the University of California said the misleading claims emanate from a 2006 U.N. report, which said that livestock was "responsible for 18 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions," describing the figure as "a larger share than transportation."

According to Mitloehner, the claim is inaccurate because the numbers for livestock were calculated differently from the transport figures.

In the report, the livestock emissions included gases produced by growing animal feed; animals' digestive emissions; and processing meat and milk into foods. But the transportation analysis factored in only emissions from fossil fuels burned while driving, and not all other transport-lifecycle related factors.

"This lopsided analysis is a classical apples-and-oranges analogy that truly confused the issue," he said.

He argued that these claims also distract society from embracing effective solutions to global climate change. He noted that the notion is becoming deeply rooted in efforts to curb global warming, citing campaigns for "meatless Mondays" and a European campaign, called "Less Meat = Less Heat," launched late last year.

"We certainly can reduce our greenhouse gas production, but not by consuming less meat and milk,' he told the American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco yesterday, reported The Daily Mail.

There was also a T.V. show on last weekend , about this same subject of eat less meat to save the world , my wife watched about ten minutes of it then turned it off , it was very anti American to Her !
