Bald, geeky, semi-famous musician Moby writes in his own little blog about his disappointment with the Live Earth concerts. As usual, the grammatical and spelling errors are all his:

i didn’t go, but i heard that they were, uh, ok.
the one thing that still stuns me, though, is that almost no one in the ’stop global warming’ camp talks about the environmental ramifications of animal production.

Sssssshhhh! Big secret to be revealed…They don’t talk about it because they are all eating those little furry creatures! Good God man, have you seen Al Gore’s ass lately?

to quote a u.n article:

rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars, un report warns.

but barely anyone mentions this fact.
people talk about using compact fluorescent lightbulbs or driving hybrid cars(both good things, of course)but almost no one mentions giving up meat, even though livestock production is responsible for more than 20% of the greenhouse gases released into the atmospher.

So what, we stop eating chickens, pigs, cattle, rabbits, ducks, goats, sheep, etc. and only eat green stuff? Hate to break it to you, Fuzz-Head, but that isn’t going to happen. Not everyone wants to look thin, pale, and emaciated. Humans are omnivorous. Hell, we’ll eat just about anything that moves. Jack Nicholson proves that.

livestock production is responsible for the release of more greenhouse gases than every car or suv or pickup-truck on the planet.
i’ve asked this before, but why wasn’t this fact included in ‘inconvenient truth’?

See my previous comment about Al Gore’s ass.

yesterday at the ‘live earth’ concerts people were eating hamburgers and hot dogs and chicken, which is akin to getting drunk at the funeral for someone who died of alcohol poisoning.

He would have wanted us to send him out that way…

it’s just depressing that some huge truths about climate change are too inconvenient even for the well-intentioned left.

Ah, the “well-intentioned left”. Style over substance, once again.
