okay thus is my second blog tonight... (i wont do this again)
but i felt this had to be said
I just saw an advert on the telly
"i we completely cut all methane emissions today then the worst of global warming will pass within a decade"
"go veg, go green"
save the world or something along these lines.
what aload of rubbish!
A) As far as greenhouse gasses go methane is a pauper. It is much wore than Co2 but compared to things like CFCs it has very little effect per molecule.
B) going vegetarian would not completley cut methane production infact it would barely effect it
a)Not all methane is produced by animals it is a byproduct of decomposition, incomplete combustion and splitting fossil fuels.
b)Lets presume for a second all methane is created by animals, by us all going vegetarian the demand for cheese,milk,eggs will shoot through the roof! especially eggs as we will need to replace our protein lost by not eating red meats! So whilst the numbers of some animals will drop they will be replaced by others!
c) Not all animals are used for food... many of us have pets, some of you girls a leather handbag, perhaps some soap made by whale blubber? and what about zoo's we gonna put them all out of buisness and cull every animal on earth?
d) we humans are animals... we produce methane, they gonna kill all us too?
Global warming is by now an unavoidable impact of the greedy power hungry life us humans lead. Humanity will survive whatever the earth throws at us. We have the technology to help reduce global warming
we have hydrogen powered cars (powered everything tbf)
we have wind,tidal,solar,nuclear power
we are attempting to create a way of having sustained nuclear fussion aka nuclear power but without the bad parts
we can stop binge eating,smoking,drinking and save our resources
However one thing stands in our way, not eating meat i might add!
Humanity - our greed and love for this percullier thing called money
we may aswell give up already.
