PETA TO AL GORE: YOU CAN’T BE A MEAT-EATING ENVIRONMENTALIST Tue Mar 06 2007 17:08:05 ET

The Most ‘Inconvenient Truth’: According to U.N., Animals Raised for Food Generate More Greenhouse Gases Than All Cars and Trucks Combined

Norfolk, Va. — 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. In its letter, PETA points out that Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth—which starkly outlines the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming and just won the Academy Award for “Best Documentary”—has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions.

In the letter, PETA points out the following:

· The effect that our meat addiction is having on the climate is truly staggering. In fact, in its recent report “Livestock’s Long Shadow—Environmental Issues and Options,” the United Nations determined that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.

· Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius.

PETA also reminds Gore that his critics love to question whether he practices what he preaches and suggests that by going vegetarian, he could cut down on his contribution to global warming and silence his critics at the same time.

“The single best thing that any of us can do to for our health, for animals, and for the environment is to go vegetarian,” says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. “The best and easiest way for Mr. Gore to show his critics that he’s truly committed to fighting global warming is to kick his meat habit immediately.”

Love it when they eat their own...so to speak....

[AreaMan]

Agreed, it's like a fight between a rat and a snake...it's a shame they can't BOTH lose.

[SevenofNine]

OMG this too funny

I love when Demos and Libs eat their own

[randog]

I'll have to add that to my list of "Questions for Environmentalists":

1) Do you have kids, i.e. "little planet killers"?
2) Are you a vegetarian?

[thackney]

I'm sure he will soon make a movie showing why "other" people should become vegetarian.

[keithtoo]

What do the Enviro-weenies think that those billion-or-so Bison that used to roam the American plains were producing? How about a gazillion caribou?

[paulat]

For those of you with wide screens....

[Don Corleone]

Another "Inconvenient Truth" Tee Hee!

[Gator101]

Poor Al - He's learning that once you start down that road they won't accept anything less that full compliance with the laws of enviro-whackism as they all continually try to one-up each other.

[theDentist]

When PETAphiles Attack... :)

[paulat]

Ping-a-ding-ding!

[GSlob]

That's OK, right and proper. He ought to turn morbid green and start photosynthesis, like a leafy vegetable he is.

[unkus]

Who is the fat guy on the left? Looks like some kind of wierdo.

[pcottraux]

No, but he CAN be a fat, squeenchy red-rimmed eyed, gray-haired, eyebrowless blob of goo.

[Sister_T]

I don't agree with Mr. Gore's fanciful tales of man-induced global warming but he should tell Ms. Newkirk to stuff it!

[Joe 6-pack]

Too little, too late if you're Tipper....

[paulat]

Who is the fat guy on the left? Looks like some kind of wierdo.

Seriously, though, he does look really unhealthy...when your hands puff out that much, there are some issues....

(I KNOW his stomach is puffed out more...but when it gets to the extremeties...there are problems)

[I see my hands]

This is what happens when they turn leftist politics into religion. There are more commandments than: Thou shalt not be carbon positive.

[mom4kittys]

Or maybe issue meat eating credits through his own company.

[Spok]

PETA again reminding us that you can't be 'just a little bit loopy'.

[Miss Behave]

Uh-oh! Gore is what he eats: Roadkill.

[toddlintown]

Methane Al. More powerful than cow farts.

[SmithL]

Did you see Penn & Teller's BS piece on PETA? It made me proud to be a carnivore.

[Viking2002]

Environmentalists. A bit tough and stringy, but they taste like chicken. LMAO >:-) The wife and I stock up on 1 lb. packs of ground bison at the local Kroger. Use it for bison burgers, buffaloaf (ask for my recipe - you'll die with a smile on your face), hell, even Hamburger Helper, on our lazy nights. If you substitute bison for ground beef in anything, you'll never want to eat regular moo-cow again.

[Doomonyou]

Do your part to eliminate these animals. Eat a steak tonight!

[Kimmers]

I experience nausea every time I see that picture.....

[steveo]

I was watching boxing last Saturday and they intro'd this boxer who was 'a vegetarian, he only eats fish... no chicken or beef.' ha!

[tsowellfan]

Wow! I gotta go post this for the dems to read in USENET! Maybe I will use a fake green party name and really get them angry

[paulat]

Poor Al - He's learning that once you start down that road they won't accept anything less that full compliance with the laws of enviro-whackism as they all continually try to one-up each other.

Al: Okay, I'll be a vegetarian.

PETA: Not JUST vegetarian...VEGAN!!!

A;: Oh, okay...

PETA: Not JUST vegan...ORGANIC VEGAN!!

Al: Oh, okay... PETA: Not JUST organic vegan...LOCAL SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC VEGAN!!

Al: Oh, okay....

[paulat]

Wow! I gotta go post this for the dems to read in USENET! Maybe I will use a fake green party name and really get them angry

PLEEZE let us know what happens!!!

[unkus]

Well, I hope he takes care of a problem he might have.

PETA TO AL GORE: YOU CAN’T BE A MEAT-EATING ENVIRONMENTALIST

LoL....and fire-bombing research labs is real good for the enviroment. Stupid wackjobs.

[Tzimisce]

...PETA is so dog eat dog :D

[SIDENET]

"Right this way to your feeding trough, sir."

[Joe 6-pack]

"I experience nausea every time I see that picture....."

Just imagine how Tipper felt...;-)

[txroadkill]

Gore is what he eats: Roadkill.

Hey!!!

Why not, he's already an energy-squandering conservationist.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Poor Algore! He must be feeling like a pinata these days because everyone's taking a swing at him. Good!

"· Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius."

And what happens to all the animals that we don't eat? We have to feed them which means we need chemicals to go into the soil to produce more food. We will need land to pen all the animals in so we will have to cut down more trees. This in turn will diminish our capacity to convert the carbon dioxide to oxygen. Which of course would contribute to global warming.

If you ask me, it seems that meat causes global warming and we will need to get rid of the meat. Now how could we do this? Hmmmmmmm.........

[popdonnelly]

I am so damn sick and tired of people telling me what I can and can't do. I could give a dump about PETA's agenda.

[paulat]

Didn't know if you saw #38

[tsowellfan]

Crop production kills more wild animals than pasturing cattle. Therefore, being a vegan is worse than being a steak-eating carnivore. Only airatarians are environmentally friendly -- provided that they don't expel any carbon dioxide.

[GretchenM]

They finally admit their (at least) dual agenda: environmental extremism includes a vegetarian / vegan lifestyle.

Reminds me of Hillary saying we will take things away from you for your good. WE WILL DECIDE HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIVES, you scum.

[elcid1970]

[the rat and the snake] "it's a shame they can't BOTH lose."

Sure they can! The worthless PETA snake strangles the rat, and then when the big fat lying Gore-rat gets stuck in its throat, the snake dies too.

And everybody wins!

;^)

[dforest]

I am starting to be a gas fan. Cow farts are really cool.

[Miss Behave]

I was a kiddin' there, big guy. ;-)

Actually I heard that Algore ate Bambi.

Inconvenient Truth for Al Gore:

Mars Is Warming, NASA Scientists Report Data coincide with increasing solar output -----The planet Mars is undergoing significant global warming, new data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) show, lending support to many climatologists' claims that the Earth's modest warming during the past century is due primarily to a recent upsurge in solar energy.
