Earth to PETA

Meat is not the No. 1 cause of global warming. Yet our diet is cooking the planet, and one surprising staple turns down the heat.

    Eating Meat Saves the World

    It's obvious.

    If you eat meat, particularly herbivores, it's a win-win situation.

    1. The animal you eat dies. It no longer breathes O2 and spews CO2 into the atmosphere.

    2. The plants that the animal would have eaten continue to live. They continue convert the earth destroying CO2 back into O2.

    Vegetarians cause global warming.

    Where's my Nobel?
