Warmists are always such buzz-kills. Interestingly, most will be part of the (supposed and totally fake) problem, refusing to practice what they preach
This Is What Your Hot Dog and Burger Are Doing to the Planet
When Americans fire up their grills on Independence Day, they’ll dump up to 882 million pounds of carbon pollution into the atmosphere—the equivalent of burning 2,145 railcars of coal. And that doesn’t even include the carbon burned just by driving to July 4 celebrations or the pollution that leeches from fireworks displays.
While it’s unlikely those stats will convince most Americans to skip the summer cookouts and fireworks, there is a less socially obtrusive way to be more environmentally responsible on the Fourth of July: Avoid the traditional barbecue fare. (snip)
Red meat has the biggest environmental footprint, which is largely a result from the methane produced by cow digestion and manure. Methane is anywhere between 25 to 36 times more potent than carbon over 100 years. The process of raising and delivering beef to your grill results in 27 kilograms of carbon-equivalent emissions, four times as much as chicken, and 13 times as much as vegeterian options. Since chickens aren’t responsible for high levels of methane, and because they require less feed than cows, they account for fewer emissions overall. But vegetarian fare has the smallest climate impact.
The average American already bears more blame for climate change than citizens anywhere else, thanks to the country’s position as the world’s biggest polluter historically and its high emissions-per-capita. So do your part this holiday weekend: Swap that beef burger for a black-bean burger.
Say, doesn’t eating lots of bean produce lots of methane? Think about all the energy and water needed to grow the bean, then all the fossil fuels needed to get them to market, then the energy needed to cook them. Then the flatulence. Maybe it would be better if we all starved to death.
I have to wonder how many members of the Cult of Climastrology are going to ruin July 4th celebrations by nagging their friends and relatives.
