PETA and the animal rights activists love the global warming goofballs, not only because they’re liberal loopys themselves, but it helps their agenda. And it’s true, according to a recent report from scientists in Japan. Producing 2.2 pounds of meat creates as much carbon dioxide as driving a car for three hours. Those quarter pounders add up pretty quick, and after a week worth of drive-thru eating, you could have caused less “harm” to the environment by driving all day and eating veggies.

“Taking into account all the processes involved, they said, four average sized steaks generated greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 80.25lb of carbon dioxide. This also consumed 169 mega joules of energy.

That means that 2.2lb of beef is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which have the same effect as the carbon dioxide released by an ordinary car travelling at 50 miles per hour for 155 miles, a journey lasting three hours. The amount of energy consumed would light a 100-watt bulb for 20 days.

Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals’ digestive systems, New Scientist magazine reported.”

So the methane from the cows causes most of the greenhouse gas emissions . . .

Maybe we should have called this website Global Warming Farts.
