Eat Bugs, Not Meat, Say 'Global Warming Researchers'
Foxnews.com ^ | January 16, 2011 | Ethan A. Huff


Researchers from Wageningen University in the Netherlands say that insects produce far less greenhouse gases than cattle and pigs do, and would thus be a viable alternative to eating meat. Published in the journal PLoS ONE, the study found that pigs, for instance, produce up to one hundred times more greenhouse gases than the equivalent weight of mealworms.

Id rather be on a 8c warmer planet or die then eat bugs thats for fuck sure. Give me pork, beef, steak, chicken ect.

Do a million ants farting in the woods at the same time make a sound if no one is around?

Filet Mignroach? I don't think so...

so now AGW isnt quite so important

No greeny here. Nuclear power please. Rather die then stop eating juicy meat!

 

[Old Rocks]

I have always found that claim specious. 200 years ago there were vast herds of bison, wildebeast, and other ruminants, and the CH4 level was 700 ppb. The extra 1100 ppb that we see now did not come from raising livestock.

Really? Why don't you tell that personally to the ranchers in Queensland, Victoria, to those in Argentina and Uraguay?

Moron ALERT. Guess what you brain dead fucking hack? Similar events have happened in the past and will happen again in the future. Explain why the heat wave in the 30's got "adjusted" to avoid the inconvenient fact that it was hotter then?

Actually the grain based diet of cattle is responsible for more gas than the grass based diets they are meant to eat.

Only recently have ruminants been forced to eat grain.

Who knows, maybe bugs are tasty?

You ever have a look at a lobster or a shrimp? They're like big bugs that live in the water.

Go ahead and chomp on a handful of meal worms and get back to me.

No thanks, you first.

I never said bugs could be tasty. I happen to know that most aren't. Yes I did the whole eat bugs survival thing in my youth.

 

[Old Rocks]

Damned if I ever did. Rabbits looked much better for eating.

Laugh my balls off...........Retired............this is, in fact, the moron forum!!! We have about 3 or 4 hard core users of this forum and they all have one thing in common. They'd happily buy a bag of dog doo for $1,000 a pop if it was packaged just right with a CO2 sticker on the outside!!

 

[editec]

If we were serious about cutting back on methane by changing our diets we'd eat more termites.

Each termite produces, on average, about half a microgram of methane per day, a seemingly insignificant amount. However, when this is multiplied up by the world population of termites, global methane emission from this source is estimated to be about 20 million tonnes each year.

source

Now compare their 20,000 metric tons output to 5.5 million metric tonnes the USA contributes due to raising of ruminants.(cattle, sheep and so forth)

Worldwide, mankind's livestock contributes about 80 million tonnes of methane to the atmosphere.

ITOH, were it not for termites much of the timber that fell 10,000 years ago would still be intact, and our forests would have died off, so I guess we ought not to bitch too much about our friends the termites.

not to mention Mann's hockey stick graph that was such a good poster for the alarmist AGW set that they ignored all the previous evidence for the Medieval Warm Period and Liitle Ice Age. and accepted and peer review passed a paper with 'unusual' statistical methods and undocumented data combined in an unscientific fashion. if ever there was a case of coming to preformed conclusions, that was the one.

 

[konradv]

What's preformed? If GHGs keep going up, warming is inevitable. Even on a log scale the 40% increase in CO2 favored by some, represents a 15% increase in heat-trapping ability. That's significant in just about anybody's book. It seems that lots of data is thrown about merely to obscure this fact, because the deniers can't answer a basic question, "what happens if GHGs keep going up?"

Ian, you have joined Westwall and mdn in repeating meaningless lies.

In the video lectures from the 2010 American Geophysical Union Conferance, Dr. Thompson presented the evidence from glaciers concerning both events, from glaciers all over the world.
