I am educating - I'm not pointing at anyone - I'm saying, hey, this maths checks out, it WILL kill the planet.

Its up to them to deal with it - id say grow up to those that cannot handle it - we live in a world where literally everyone thinks everyone else MUST agree with them.

My views are kept in check with mathematical fact - which I find hard to argue with.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, or what the maths says

You can always spot a vegan because they'll tell you a thousand times and, like a Jehovah's Witness, want you to join the club

Which is exactly my point - you will do what you want, regardless of the cost to you or everyone else.

Which is my beef, excuse the pun - it's basic humanity to not screw others over - 99% of people are nice people, they just don't realise their actions have unseen consequences.

get people to stop burning, tyres, rubbish etc and I think about going meat-free once or twice a week

Starting with the vegans, they'll be easier to overpower and kill due to being pastey and under nourished.

There’d be more meat on a budgies penis.

I don't have a tumble dryer, I use the washing line, and I've just recently had to surrender my driving licence which also meant that I had to sell my car. Both of those things mean I can happily continue consuming all the dead flesh I want.

I have 5 kids but someone needs to pay for these future green taxes, hey?

Have you changed your plans to jet around the world?

Combat squirrel said:
Stupid comment. You do you ?

The rest of us want to see more of the world & not suffer a penalty for doing so.

I'm not jetting around the world - am vanning to the EU when I can.

It's still far far far far far far far less of an env impact than meat eating - especially as its a one off 2-3 month journey, not a life time of endless animal abuse/supporting the corp machine that enables it.

They can still eat decent food!

I'd just order a takeaway afterwards.

what are your thoughts about animals eating other animals alive?

"Having one fewer child than planned"

If I've not planned to have any, and have none, is that no saving or am I now in credit? Can I pretend to have planned to have 2 of them and now splurge my free 47.4 tonnes per year? If I say I planned to have 4 can I splash out on nearly 100 tonnes worth...? Questions, questions...

No, if you have no children you get to take one out!

In all seriousness I tried to go vegan for a while and it was quite expensive if you don't want the same thing all the time.

Still waiting for the coming ice age that was absolutely happening in the 70's.

You need to sell your credits to someone with loads of kids. I think that's how we solve the environmental problem more generally (carbon credits etc) so should be fine.

What's the going rate? I could make a fortune if I said I was planning to have 100 kids...

That only works if you institute a 2 child policy and enforce it globally.

That would involve murdering children so, i highly doubt you can do it.

What you need is robots with guns, as they will follow any order.
