Khaleej Times Online - Eating Right for Climate?

A two-day-old report by the UK-based Food Climate Research Network gives us a plateful of food for thought. From now on, if humans don’t “ration” dietary intake to “four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week” and do away with redundancies like alcohol and chocolate, Planet Earth — poised precariously on the global warming burner — will go up in flames.
Earthlings, if a massive flurry of online postings is any indicator, are livid and breathing fire — and warming up the climate change debate yet again.

Totally pathetic, says one commentator. “The most depressing feature of the age is that all these bearded, academic commies who never had a real job and sat resentfully during the boom years are now telling us pints and sweets are to be forbidden or at least rationed.”
Here are some more posts: “Global warming is nothing but a power and money grabbing scam”; “What a bunch of nut jobs! And people wonder why we Americans tend to ignore the opinions of other countries... Now I have to get back to that 16oz porterhouse steak”; “There are times when I utterly despair at the sheer stupidity of prejudice vented by almost ALL the Save the Planet zealots”; “You can’t eat meat, you mustn’t travel, you mustn’t keep your home warm/cool. It’s back to the Middle Ages”; “Does anybody out there still buy into this global warming scam?” etc etc. 
The posts — that have poured in from all parts of the warming globe — clearly prove that a substantial chunk of global citizens do not think that an 89-nation climate conferencing on the sunny beaches of Bali is super cool.

And they would definitely not be weak-kneed with awe and admiration as Al Gore solemnly states, “We and the earth’s climate are locked in a relationship familiar to war planners: ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’.”
To save Planet Earth, one will also have to go back to the future.
