Walking the walk: Warmist Michael Mann takes unnecessary planet-killing trip to Texas, then eats planet-killing meat and drinks planet-killing beer

Twitter / MichaelEMann: Great BBQ & beers at ...
Great BBQ & beers at with some awesome Geological Sciences grad students :-)
Flashback: Warmist David Roberts admits to repeatedly eating meat, ignoring the sage advice of Hansen and Pachauri
'In terms of immediacy of action and the feasibility of bringing about reductions in a short period of time, it clearly is the most attractive opportunity,' said Pachauri. 'Give up meat for one day [a week] initially, and decrease it from there,' said the Indian economist, who is a vegetarian.

Top climatologist Dr. James Hansen calls for less coal and less meat to stop global warming.

"You can make a bigger contribution in that way (being a vegetarian) than just about anything."
AskPablo: CO2 from Beer
Have you ever wondered about the carbon emissions generated from making your favorite brewsky, bottle of vino, or 15 year-old Talisker Scotch? Never mind the impact from producing the bottles, shipping the product, or the farm impact...Alcohol is the result of a fermentation process in which sugars are eaten by small yeast critters which then metabolize it, pee alcohol, and fart CO2...So, per final 100 g of beer, we need to create 6.22 g of CO2 (5.856/(100-5.856)x100). This is 62.2 g of CO2 per liter of beer. Maybe this doesn’t sound like much, but let me put it in perspective: in 2004, Americans drank 23.974 billion liters of beer, resulting in 1,491,182 mT of CO2 emissions. Global beer consumption in 2004 was 150.392 billion liters, resulting in 9,354,382 mT of CO2 emissions.
