Stop Eating Beef, Drive a Gas-Guzzler Guilt Free?
So, you want a gas-guzzling SUV, but you're afraid that people will accuse you of destroying the environment? Too bad, they will probably keep harassing you if drive a gas-guzzling SUV. Nonetheless, you could stop eating beef and let them know that you are fighting the REAL source of global warming.
"Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together," states a new 400-page report by Britain's Food and Agricultural Organisation according to The Independent.
From fertilizer production to transportation to deforestation and pollution, eating beef is causing FAR, FAR more problems than even driving a gas-guzzler - at least in terms of pollution. Still, don't eat your veggie burger in your Hummer and think everything is O.K. - you're still funding terrorism and risking National Security.

Real scientest ( not political scientest) don't anticipate much effect from carbon dioxide at all, much less "increasingly critical". Atmospheric carbon dioxide's greenhouse effect is logarithmic -- the first half of pre-Industrial Revolution-level effect was achieved by less than 20 parts per million, then needing the addition of 250 ppmv more to achieve the same warming increment to reach pre-IR effect and it will take a massive increase to repeat the dose again. (The "how much" depends on total sensitivity estimates but, utilizing A Field Guide to the Atmosphere (Houghton, 1983)'s commonly cited 7 K greenhouse effect for 300 ppmv (presumably from Kondratjew & Moskalenko but the origin of this common figure is obscure) then quadrupling pre-IR levels to 1120 ppmv can deliver a mere 1.71 K warming in total -- since there's already alleged to have been 0.7 K that leaves just 1 kelvin potential for adding another 740 ppmv to the current 380 ppmv.)
We need to stop Gorebull Warnings
That's hilarious, "gorebull warnings".
