SteveG Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 in the times today there was a novel way to offset your carbon emmissions. It turns out that your average moose emits, in methane, the equivalent carbon emissions of your average car doing 8,000 miles. Moose populations are growing in Norway, so if you drive about 15,000 miles per annum in a 4x4 simply take a flight to Norway shoot three Moose dead and you've now offset your carbon emissions for the flight there and back and your driving for the next year! The article even had a quote from a Proffessor in Trondheim suggesting the same Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 How much does the average vegetarian emit? (all them greens must mean its a fair bit) Can we stay here and shoot them instead? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 How much does the average vegetarian emit? (all them greens must mean its a fair bit)Can we stay here and shoot them instead? Will or a rambliar? or an MP? woah.... imagine a vegetarian rambling MP? crikey, i could ecologically run a V8 for the rest of my life on that one! (Or i could just ignore the new *carbon footprint* board meeting-type-sound bite, and just carry on driving my rover in total ignorance ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Sorry How long before some overpaid halfwit Prius driving MP puts forward a bill to raise the Tax on Baked Beans on Environmental grounds? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbarton Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Someone of the radio was banging on about the methane emitted from cattle and that we should should stop eating meat so we wouldn't need so many cows. I hold the view a cow farting in a field is less of an enironmental issue than a vegetarian farting on a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Does that not depend on whether you are on the bus or in the field??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think if you are daft enough to use public transport you deserve to do sat next to a farting vegetarian. I would rather ride my bike than use public transport. In fact I used to ride to work (40mile round trip) sometimes if the car was in dock. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Let's not forget one very important fact here. Vegetarianism is an option. People choose to abstain from meat. A cow or sheep hasn't the choice to be here or not. And their life span is far shorter if we eat them. Therefore, the vegetarians are voluntarily choosing to kill our planet. And most of them are ramblers who read The Guardian; both further contributing to the loss of this planet. And by virtue of being vegetarian and Guardian readers, they must also, by default, be gay. And therefore their occupation must be either a politician or Big Brother contestant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 ............they must also, by default, be gay. Not likely to breed then And therefore their occupation must be either a politician or Big Brother contestant. A good case for involuntary euthanasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
