Eating beef ' is less green than driving?

According to the article that i read, "Producing 2.2lb (1 kilo) of beef generates as much greenhouse gas as driving a car non-stop for three hours, it was claimed yesterday."

They have got to be mental!!

"Taking into account all the processes involved, they said, four average sized steaks generated greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 80.25lb of carbon dioxide.

This also consumed 169 megajoules of energy.

That means that 2.2lb of beef (1 Kilo) is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which have the same effect as the carbon dioxide released by an ordinary car travelling at 50 miles per hour for 155 miles, a journey lasting three hours or the amount of energy consumed would light a 100-watt bulb for 20 days.

Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals' digestive systems, New Scientist magazine reported."

Who would have thought that cow farts were the main reason for the Greenhouse Effect??

Their answer is for us to stop eating beef!! What a good answer...NOT!! If we were to stop eating beef, what would happen to all the cows? Would we stop feeding them and let them die? This sounds like something PETA thought up and is trying to push their Vegan Liberal thinking on us. Did they ever stop to think about all the cows left out in the pasture so to speak? So, for the last 2500+ years, cow farts have been accumulating in the atmosphere and are going to cause a global climate shift? This is ridiculous to me, but hey, I love to eat a good steak!!
