Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] global warming again

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I think we should all eat more meat, have more wars and stop eating
plants. Since plants scrub CO2 from the atmosphere, we should be
protecting them and not eating them anymore, but since animals put
more CO2 in the air, we should kill them off quicker.

Please take this as the tongue and cheek response it was meant to be.
