Apparently there is another next to leading cause of global warming. It is one of our main sources of food, livestock. Yes, from the ground meat that you buy at the grocery store. The methane (burps,farts,etc) that is let off from livestock animals is supposedly 18 times worse than auto exhaust.
Ingrid Newkirk, PETA President, said, "A tax on meat would help prevent future global warming-related natural disasters by encouraging a decrease in meat consumption.
Seriously, a higher tax on meat products is gonna help this? Not only farm raised livestock are at stake here. If commercial livestock taxes are to be skyrocketed, then alot of people would still find other means in the wild. Looking at the deer, elk, moose, and such. Then if you ended hunting, well, the population of the hunted animals would get outta control. Plus alot of angry sportsmen. You can see more about this environmental environmental issue here
