Well i did hear correctly and it was still sounded stupid. But i like to think i have an open mind so i brought it to this most open minded of forums to see if anyone could answer a few of my questions generated by what i heard and hell throw your opinions in aswell cos i love you all so very much.
Ok to Business: Former beatle, all round good egg and snappy dresser Sir Paul "I'm still worth millions" McCartney has said that we should all stop eating meat to stop global warming.
Quote:
The former Beatle said the world's meat industry was one of the main contributors to global warming.
Sir Paul urged people to tackle the problem by turning to a meat-free diet.
"I would urge everyone to think about taking this simple step to help our precious environment and save it for the children of the future," he said in an interview with animal rights organisation Peta.

Now i have a few small logistical questions before i move on to my opinion.
1. What is the preposal for the animals, are they to be slaughtered or left roaming around, because one option is the forced extinction of entire species and the other accompleshes nothing since said animals are still wandering around farting and such like.
2. Where do you draw the line? In africa Oxon are part of the culture and ecconomy of the tribes, or do you just propose to put the farmers out of business because they are dirty stinking capitalists?
3. Why stop at farming? Dogs fart something terrible and they must be adding to the problem, so do we ban any pets that add to the greenhouse gases aswell? What about the herds of wildebeast, Impala, Yak, they have no purpose at all, at least Cows feed us, thats useful. Can't we get rid of all the pointless animals first? lets start with Wombats.
4. should we maybe just maybe look at industry before we start looking at agriculture? maybe plant some more trees? What if we forced farmers to plant 10 trees around every field? that would ofset at least some of the green house gases long term right?
- Opinion:
I really LOATHE when people try and deflect a debate away from the real isses/possible solutions by offering rampant stupidity as a viable alternitive.
Global warming is a complex problem, So complex that so far they haven't been able to detect much, if any global increase in temprature despite the early models showing massive increases by now.
Simple solutions put forward by celebretity's for organisations with Agenda's that are nothing to do with the issue they are talking about are both counter productive to the efforts made by sencible people and lead skeptics to believe that the talk of Global warming is nothing more than a smokescreen to enable govenments to bring in unpopular laws.
I do believe there is a problem but me not eating chicken Szechuan noodles tonight isn't going to solve it!
