    LOL

    Livestock is the number one cause ehh?

    If you actually believe that.. then there is no helping you! Obviously you believe whatever dribble you find on the internet that supports your cause without even investigating.

    The EPA lists the two main causes of rising green house gases as burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. And guess what smarty pants.. slash and burn farming in the rain forest is done mainly to produce VEG!

    According to the EPA livestock enteric fermentation (farts) is tied with paddy rice farming as a green house gas producer.

    Do you understand a pie graph? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greenh%E2%80%A6

    I am all for cleaning up the environment. But do so with half a brain and dont expect people to believe such nonsense filled lies.

    Car and industries are higher contribution to green house gas than livestock.

    Does the government have to do EVERYTHING? Believe me, telling people to knock off eating meat is something that can happen very well within families.
