Comments on: PETA to jowly Oscar winner: Save the planet by going veggie

[...] Update: There’s not a single compelling logical reason for this marriage to take place except that it grants the open-borders lobby some absolute moral authority by osmosis. Same as with PETA trying to piggyback on the global warming movement. There are certain orthodoxies to which every right-thinking leftist must hold, and thus it’s the goal of any special interest group whose pet issue isn’t so designated to make sure that it becomes so, even if only by association.

This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux “fried chicken” as an introduction to meat-free meals

What about all the CO2 that would be produced by COOKING the veggies? I bet the CO2 emissions from burning the fuel required to cook the veggies would be much more than the amount of CO2 absorbed by the veggies while they were growing. Veggies even emit CO2 gas as they are heated and much of the absorbed CO2 is released from the plant structures like stems and leaves. If you’re not going to eat them raw, don’t even bother. And by eating the veggies, they can no longer grow and absorb the CO2, so the whole point is moot, don’t you think?

I think he’d have to breed polar bears. Since they are the fave animal of the Global Warming(tm) movement.

I wonder what ever happened to the Baby Harp Seals? Did they go the way of Acid Rain and the Hole in the Ozone?

One would think that Baby Harp Seals are threatened even more by global warming, so why not use the cute, furry little guys as a symbol? After all, I’d find it a lot easier to feel sorry for a defenseless Baby Harp Seal that couldn’t hurt anyone over a huge polar bear that is one of the few animals left that considers man a food source. Don’t people realize what a Polar Bear would do to them if they were caught in the open and a hungry polar bear was around? The damn thing would run you down and eat you alive!

Global Warming is threating the Polar Bears? GOOD! They’re a dangerous animal that needs to be controlled.

Global Warming is threating the Baby Harp Seals? AWWW, the poor little things! We must do something to help them!

Baby Harp Seal vs. Polar Bear, shoot the bear and hug the seal!

Meathead offsets, maybe.

Exit question: Can’t he just purchase some meat offsets by breeding horses or something?

Horses? I don’t think so. American’s breed horses as a food source for other countries.

Or something? He would have to purchase dung beatles offsets for poo or some parasitic organism offsets to rid animals of those emissions. Then again, there’s always BeanO.

Carbon Offsets For… Farting…

It has come to this. For 35 Australian dollars (about 27 U.S. dollars), customers of Sydney-based Easy Being Green can offset a year’s worth of carbon emissions linked to their dogs, from trips to the vet to, yes, breaking wind…….

OK, I finally figured out who Al Gore reminds me of in that picture. You can't handle the truth.

I don’t think any horses want to breed with Al.

“Save the planet by going veggie”

Hmmm. Do I get the cheerleader as a reward?

This is a fun story for many reasons, not the least of which is the “Gore looks bloated” angle.

This had me laughing right away!
I was gonna go to the market yesterday and buy a nice ribeye. (I ended up making meat-less mostaccioli.) Too bad.

Me thinks that his royal immenseness needs to purchase some twinkie offsets.

i have a terrible terrible fear that meat-eating will be forced, like cigarettes, and later, gasoline/cars, into oblivion through higher taxes and the bellows of moral crusaders of gorebot and company.

From “green sex” article I linked above, it looks like Al Gore can pull a twofer to please his cronies:

Gordon notes there’s even an eco-friendly adult website dedicated to naked vegetarians, appropriately called Veg Porn.

Forget the veggies - go for "green sex".

For those who like to make love to the soundtrack of the global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth, Greenpeace has released a list of strategies for "getting it on for the good of the planet

Oh Canada, oh Canada...

People Eating Tasty Animals reminds you that cow farts are responsible for everything that is wrong in this world. Broccoli sequesters CO2, save the broccoli.

I will almost have some sympathy for Gore if he is so forced by the politics around him that - around Thanksgiving - we see a Norman Rockwell-inspired PSA of the extended Gore clan sitting down to a meal of grilled tofu, Tofurky, Not Dogs, Soy Bacon and Veggieburgers, lit by tiny compact fluorescent candelabra, inviting America to "Join In!"..."Gosh, we've gotten past the near library paste taste of much of this stuff, but hey...it's about the planet!"

Pigs will fly before he’ll give up his steaks and hamburgers.

He lied about the polar-bears disappearing due to icecaps melting in his documentary and some scientists are calling for his Oscar-for-a-documentary disqualification, since a documentary has to be true, or able to be transferred into truth/reality. I don’t think he meant it to be a joke or satire either.

Why can’t Al just can save the planet and end global warming with all that money he made from inventing the internet?

By: eeyore

eeyore — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 02:06:16 +0000

Since Al's gone carbon-neutral by paying himself for offsets, he could probably go all the way to carbon-negative by having GIM fund research into some form of "Bovine Beano", which will eliminate flatulence in ruminants.

Would the term “fat chance” be appropriate for Gore?
