Does Anyone Really Care About The Carbon Footprint Of Your Thanksgiving Turkey

Well, in cult world they care, hence an idiot article at Axios

Your Thanksgiving turkey has a carbon footprint

climate change joke

You probably won’t ponder your carbon footprint when you sit down to devour that Thanksgiving turkey — but some food and climate activists say you should.

Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers’ priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.

The big picture: The beloved bird is considered more environmentally friendly than beef. But turkey still produces, in production and post-production, the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming — even more than chicken, according to the Environmental Working Group.

No, I never considered pondering it. How about you? Are you a cultist? If you are, here we go with the normal

How to talk to your skeptical parents about climate change at Thanksgiving

Let’s be honest: telling your parents they might be wrong about something has never been easy. Now, throw in politics, Thanksgiving dinner and climate change? That’s a recipe for disaster – and indigestion.

But here’s the thing – if you approach the conversation in the right way, you can actually communicate some pretty challenging information without it spiraling into a shouting match. Here’s how to talk to your parents, or anyone on the other side of the issue, about climate change.

Why is a conversation necessary at all? If you want to be a miserable sod, stay home. Let everyone else be and have a good day.

Polar Vortex Set to Hit US During Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend

A weather phenomenon known as a polar vortex is likely to hit a large swath of North America this week and into next, potentially disrupting travel for millions of people during the Thanksgiving holiday. (big snip through explanations as to the places to be affected)

It’s unclear whether this specific weather event is due to climate change or not — polar vortexes happen regularly every two years or so, and this current one appears to be aided by the La Niña phenomenon as well. But a growing body of research suggests that, as the planet warms due to the effects of the climate crisis, the disruption of Arctic air that is the basis of a polar vortex may become more common and/or more severe.

Sigh.

    There is nothing that makes the activists happier than making other people miserable.

    I am afraid my Givafuquemeter has dropped to zero, then broke the pin on this topic.

    Happy thanksgiving to everyone, even the militant atheists who don’t recognize Who they are even thanking.

      Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, even the militant christianists who worship imaginary “beings” whom they thank once a year for helping them exterminate the natives.

      It originated as a pagan harvest festival!!

      The christianists have a sordid history of ostracizing, punishing, even executing heretics. And once again, they want their religion and their government to be one and the same.

    Personally, I worry about carbon footprints every day.
    But then I’m relieved when I think of carbon offsets….
