McCartney Urges Meat-Free Day to Cut CO2

In an interview with Parliament Magazine he appealed for "people power" to make the difference in the fight against global warming.

McCarthy, if and when you start calling for people to stop cutting trees and planting new one, I might consider you request!

Until then shut-up, you twit!

Have you ever noticed that when a Conservative chooses to be a vegetarian he/she simply stops eating meat and when a lib chooses that lifestyle he/she wants to impose it on all others.
Paul, stay outta politics and write/sing cute songs, you know, something you're good at. And one more thing, you can lecture me on my emissions when you take your 10 tour buses and monster sound/lighting rig off the road. I can assure you that one weeks performances equal all the steaks I've eaten in my entire lifetime in terms of CO2 output which, by the way, is not (regardless of the EPA statement) a pollutant.

Paul, please let me know as soon as possible when you have this meatless day planned so I can prepare my menu for the day. It will include bacon and sausage for breakfast, a big, juicy burger for lunch, and a medium rare Kansas City strip for dinner.

meatless, processed food that may substitute meat on "meatless monday" could produce just as much CO2 if not more. you can't just propose that people alter their lives like this and not explain further.

You know...oh, we could have a "don't eat meat day".
I think it's funny. There's no commitment here to believing in the global warming fraud.

What makes McCartney an expert in climatology? Somehow these so called "celebrities" think that because they have made lots of money in the entertainment field they are automatically qualified to preach to the world. McCartney needs to stick to what he does - write and sing music. Hey Paul - Catholics have had weekly meatless days and Fast/Abstinence days during the 40 day Lenten season for decades; shouldn't this have had an impact by now?

Paul, it doesn't shock me at all that you would have a MEAT-FREE DAY, because you have been brainwashed by the GLOBAL Community too. We'll be having steaks today, one of our favorite foods, too bad you'll be eating oats or a block of cheese.

How much carbon is used by your planes, trains and autos and music equipment,Paul? How often do you go to the recycle bin. Where do you dispose of your batteries? Last time I checked, you eat what you like and as much as you like, and alll the rest of us will do the same. You are not the King of the world, so just take care of Paul and we will take care of ourselves.

How many years did the Roman Catholic Church have meatless Friday? What effect did that have on CO2? Probably NONE. It seems to me that if a food animal lives an extra few days or weeks it will produce more methane and CO2, not less. Therefore, we should eat more meat.
