And some wonder why the Global Warming enthusiasts don't get all the
recognition they think they deserve.

"Changing our lifestyles, including our diets, is going to be one of
the crucial elements in cutting carbon emissions," said David Kennedy,
chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change.

Kennedy has stopped eating his favourite doner kebabs because they
contain lamb.

A government-sponsored study into greenhouse gases found that
producing 2.2lb of lamb released the equivalent of 37lb of carbon
dioxide."

I'll bet this 'Kennedy' is a chicken rancher.

Note the '2.2 lbs of lamb' as you read the following excerpt:

"A study commissioned by the National Institute of Livestock and
Grassland Science in Tsukuba, Japan, and published in the Animal
Science Journal, found that producing 2.2 pounds of beef generates
more carbon dioxide than an average car does every 160 miles."

That's from another study:

Ozone Al's been making it up for 20 years, makes millions and has the sheep
fooled worldwide, which proves that natural selection will eventually
eliminate the mentally deficient.

Where do you think the carbon comes from? The crops pulled it out of
the atmosphere the year before. Net effect, close to zero. There is
some fossil carbon in the natural gas used to make nitrogen
fertilizer, but not that much per pound of beef.
