carnivores responsible for much global warming :)

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has issued a report stating that the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined. This NYT article follows the efforts of animal rights groups to spread the news, particularly to environmental organizations that don't seem to be taking notice (perhaps because some of them are carnivores :). Matt Ball, executive director of Vegan Outreach, supposes that "environmentalists recognize that it’s a lot easier to ask people to put in a fluorescent light bulb than to learn to cook with tofu.”
