I can’t but disagree with this article. What did author intend by the words about meatarians? I’m not a slaughterer, but I think that this process is natural. I despise hunting and fur wearing. But I can’t imagine my life without meat. This fact doesn’t disturb me to worry about environment.

Well, now we are doing it (talking about meat, here and in the Washington Post).

The Cowspiracy documentary linked to is also quite good. It's very slanted, but it does a good job of presenting questions while being light hearted and not trying to make you feel massively guilty.

Oh yes, methane and greenhouse effect. It's not that the water in the atmosphere has much greater effect on the climate than methane and CO2 combined together. No, it's human activity surely.

Is the amount of water in the atmosphere growing?

> If you eat meat while failing to accept the impact your choices have, you not only are contributing to the problem, you are a climate change denier.

Any quantity of meat, any type of meat?

It is the same eating cow and pork in every meal than eating some days meat?

When people acts in the way that you're with me or against me and see the world in black and white we have a problem

Is the heat amount stored in CO2 and methane any higher than fluctuations of heat capacity of water in the atmosphere? If no, then it doesn't matter if their level rises or not. And as I remember, it was a difference of orders of magnitude.
