Christmas Dinner Causes Global Warming By Noel Sheppard Created 2008-12-25 12:31
First it's Christmas lights [0], now it's Christmas dinner...causing global warming.
Yep. People who cook more than their guests will eat and throw the food away are destroying the planet.
I'm not kidding.
ABCNews.com in Australia reported [1] the following absurdity on Christmas Eve:
Wasted food at Christmas time is now being highlighted as an environmental problem.
Jon Dee, the chairman of Do Something, says gases from leftover food rotting in landfill are 20 times more potent than the carbon pollution from car exhausts.
Mr Dee says there are simple ways to avoid over-catering at Christmas and damaging the environment.
"Australians waste more than 3 million tonnes of food every year and of course a lot of that food is wasted at Christmas," he said.
Okay, I'll bite: if "gases from leftover food rotting in landfill are 20 times more potent than the carbon pollution from car exhausts," why are we worried about carbon pollution from car exhaust? Or from coal-fired power plants?
Now, add in all the methane being released from cows, bogs, and wetlands across the planet, and the fact that methane is a signficantly more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and hasn't this article pointed out the extraordinary absurdity in the entire anthropogenic global warming myth?
You see it’s not all the rotting food that is causing the problem, it is all the rotting bowels and their nasty methane. Eat yogurt with live cultures and that problem goes away. Cured my husband who once emptied an entire railway depot, and on another occasion chased all the hounds out of a hunting cabin.
No mention of Hanukkah, Festivus or Kwanzaa? I wonder why.
...and how many animals die in the wild each year? That’s gotta make a stink!
In six months, it’ll be:
CHRISTIANITY CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING!!!
(It’s probably their intent to eliminate religion while they’re at it...)
MERRY CHRISTMAS, and CLEAN YOUR PLATE!!!
Let us Do Something. Let us expel our gases toward Jon Dee.
Merry Christmas Freepers and their families.
just saw this on tv this morning: SFO will be instituting a kiosk in 2009 for certfied carbon credit purchases, with a computer program designed to calculate the deadliness of the flight you're about to take.
kewl! It'll be fun to watch people giving money to unaccounted-for "charities" at the airport!
Guess I need to throw another key on the fire.

"Diverse" holidays don't cause global warming, silly. Only Christian holidays do.
I am shivering just thinking about it. . . .
utter nonsense
Good thing it happens during the cold time of year then. Looking at the weather map we could do with some global warming, it’s nasty out there.
Shouldn’t these Fundamentalist Environmentalists commit suicide to eliminate their footprint? Talk about a win-win!
Merry Christmas
I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like leftover turkey sandwiches. Leftover tofurkey, however, is landfill fodder for sure.
We’ve had snow for 2 weeks, chow down fast!
Merry Christmas
There's one on TV like that...it's a non smoking ad. I don't know if the one you heard is the same thing.
How about wasted breath in the media, government and schools about a fraudulent theory of global warming?
