Wanna Fix Global Warming? Talk to the Giant Chicken in the Hummer

Written by PETA

Yesterday, one of my colleagues dressed as a chicken and drove a Hummer round the State Department building, where the Meeting of Major Economies on Energy Security and Climate Change was taking place, to make the point that a meat-based diet is responsible for more greenhouse-gas emissions than driving a gas-guzzling SUV. And yes, in case you're wondering, sometimes it does take a giant chicken in a Hum-V to get certain people to pay attention. Here's a pic:

Has everyone who believes it is big industry and cars that have the most impact on global warming stopped driving thier cars? Or written any big industrial companies? or pushed to have any laws making the big industries be more earth friendly? I believe raising animals is one of the largest causes of global warming and because I do believe that I put my money where my mouth is and went Vegan. If you believe anything that humans do is causing global warming don't argue about it do something about it. stop using your car so often write your congressman and ask them to support laws governing big factories. Most poeple who do not believe raising animals is a large cause of global warming is simply because they do not want to cut back or god forbid stop eating meat. So to keep thier consious clear they deny raising animals is a contributing factor to global warming.

Okay.....global warming. Carbon monoxide emissions that stagnate the air leading to uv rays coming though unpreturbed. Years of global warming....... a lot of spare carbon monoxide and a build up of carbon dioxide caused by the density choice of the common populations. Final choice and answer.........A machine with the ability to vacuum the air and then gather up the carbon in filters. A comment on the tests as I have no resources would be most appreciated.

It's the SUNstupid!! Climate change is sunspot driven the more activity from sunspots the warmer the climates. We are now entering a period of low activity so we are cooling off. We are also emerging from the "little ice age" so of course there is "global warming" for the past 200 yrs. Also C02 lags behind temperature rise in other words temps go up first then C02 rises later. Do any of you older bloggers remember the global cooling scare of the 70's? This is just another NWO freak show to cow the population while controling them taxing them to death. By the way Al Gore is a member of the Skull Bones as is Bush. Google climate change people get your facts straight.

It is not meat but factory farming that is the problem. Please don't allow self rightous veganism blind you to the imapct of all the CO2 and other GHG spewing vehicles and homes hummers are just one of the worst. Corn production for ethanol is another huge GHG producer again factory farming and monoculture is the problem. For biofuel the best choice so far is celluloid from straw wood chips etc. Also turn off your lights when not using and don't overuse your AC in the home or vehicle. Cruelty to animals is a moot point if none of us except maybe certain types of bacteria can live on this planet. Do not support monoculture. Walk cycle take public transit or carpool. Make your home energy efficient. Buy locally produced food if your soy was grown half a world away and flown trucked or shipped to you then please address your own choices before criticizing others. PETA Please do not inadvertantly glorify fossil fuel wasting vehicles by indirectly advertising for them. Also if reducing greenhouse gasses is a reason not to eat meat then please do not encourage the use of PVC or other plastics for clothing footware etc. They offgas and are toxic to all animals including people and their pets. Plastics are made from petroleum which is oil. The Hummer stunt only invalidates your arguments.

I's not sad it's cool. What do you do in your spare time. I play video games you do something different. So why bum rap on something someone does as entertainment? Makes no sense! Juilanne you're an idiot. Hypocrisy is the most retarded form of spreading information in this case false. It only makes the relayer look like an a hole. Oh and get the finger off shift or detoggle caps lock nOOb!
