Sure Al Gore has got many folks thinking about using CF bulbs in their ceiling lights instead of the old-fashioned kind. But as we right-leaning folks like to point out, every time Gore takes a flight from his Nashville home to Washington, D.C. his private plane emits as much green house gas as a standard light bulb left on for thirteen solid days.
Now, multiply that by the 1,000 cities Gore visited nationwide to promote his “Inconvenient Truth”.
In the grand pecking order of liberals, even that‘s not nearly as bad as his eating habits, at least if you ask PETA.
Citing United Nations research that the meat industry is worse for the environment than driving and flying, animal rights groups are directing a campaign at the former American vice-president’s diet.
When he delivers a lecture on global warming in Denver next month, protesters will display billboards bearing a cartoon image of Mr Gore eating a drumstick and the message: “Too chicken to go vegetarian? Meat is the No 1 cause of global warming”.
The campaign is being organised by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) and is backed by other animal rights groups.
Hmmm…. I feel like chicken tonight.

Throw it on the grill. The atmosphere in the general vicinity will be greatly improved.

Marinate a couple of sirloin steaks for tomorrow. Be generous with the crushed (not ground) black pepper.

You wouldn’t be able to eat meat if you knew how it was produced

If you truly are what you eat, I’d say Gore has likely been dining on bloated irrelevant bull droppings.

if God didn’t want us to eat meat He wouldn’t have made it taste so good. personally, i’ve never met an animal that didn’t look good on a plate next to the mashed potatoes and gravy. PETA is a good argument for retroactive birth control.

Actually, I DO know how meat is produced – and yes, I still eat it. What part of dominion don’t you get?

I found your site on Lynne’s site. She is the sister of my friend Karen. I am a newbie also and probably know a lot less than Lynne. I had no idea bout Trackback URL that you were talking about. The information that was on your blog was very interesting.
I did not know [and this came from the PETA link] that According to recent UN Food and agriculture Organisation research, animal agriculture generates 18 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions – more than the 13.5 per cent produced by all forms of transport combined.
A person can learn all kinds of things from just going to the different blogs and reading which I love to do. Thanks for having such a great site for all us bloggers to read. I for one appreciate it.
