Walking to the shops ‘damages planet more than going by car’

Quote:
Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby.

The sums were done by Chris Goodall, campaigning author of How to Live a Low-Carbon Life, based on the greenhouse gases created by intensive beef production. “Driving a typical UK car for 3 miles [4.8km] adds about 0.9 kg [2lb] of CO2 to the atmosphere,” he said, a calculation based on the Government’s official fuel emission figures. “If you walked instead, it would use about 180 calories. You’d need about 100g of beef to replace those calories, resulting in 3.6kg of emissions, or four times as much as driving.

“The troubling fact is that taking a lot of exercise and then eating a bit more food is not good for the global atmosphere. Eating less and driving to save energy would be better.”

NOT FUNNY
This is the next BIG climate change swindle.........CO2 and methane from beef and dairy cattle are causing too much damage......therefore we should all become vegetarians.
What's the bet on your current outbreak of foot and mouth being deliberate ?
If so, then we will never know.
This madness never seems to end.!

Exactly

Three farters for the price of one !

Alternatively:

ENVOY drives his Ferrari topless and bumps
and as he bumps he farts
so is it the farts that make him bump
or the bumps that make him fart ?
