I just got pointed to another wacko group trying to claim that what we eat is causing global warming. There’s just so much wrong with this. Global warming? Uh, that hasn’t even been conclusively proven. Too many scientists disagree on the subject. So why do these wacko groups employ scare tactics and outright lies? To raise money to line their pockets and push a completely different agenda which seems to me to be more about their “religion” than the topic.

This one is from Let’s Act Now. They’re so ashamed of themselves that they don’t even identify who they are other than to say that it’s a “joint effort of a group of people . . . ” Now that’s really clear. I guess they wanted to be clear that it wasn’t animals doing this but people.

Of course when you see that they’re promoting Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and the farting cow you start to figure it out.

How to stop global warming. Or not.

To begin with, let’s stipulate that there is no real debate over whether global warming is occurring or whether it is human-caused. Virtually all of those who best know the issues agree on the consensus. (If you want to cast up phony arguments or cherry-picked stats from denialist groups in the comments, don’t bother because they won’t be published. We’re here to talk about solutions.)
