UN: Eat less meat to fight Global Warming

Here we go. This story from The Observer in the UK reports that the chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is recommending we all eat less meat in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.

His comments are the most controversial advice yet provided by the panel on how individuals can help tackle global warning.

I don't even have the time and energy to get into what a sham the UN IPCC was. The fact that they shared a Nobel Peace Prize with L. Ron Gore should be sufficient explanation at this point.

So much of Global Warming hype is propaganda designed to create the notion that evil Big Business (like the Meat Industry) is the root cause of this alleged world problem. It's subtle, and effective. But it goes beyond that. It's not just the creeping anti-capitalism that Climate Change hysteria most certainly is, but it's the arrogance of supposed intellectuals who know the best way in which you should live your life. We all need to eat tofu and be skinny and happy and wear our bike helmets; instead of being the fat, lazy resource-suckers that we are now.

And by God you will adhere or be sent to the back of the bus with Michael Crichton.
