There are plenty of scientific investigations to show that man made global warming is false.

No, there aren't. I mean, really. As of now all of these investigations fall in pseudo-science, if you disagree with me, that's ok, but post links to these "investigations", cause all of the attempts so far made to disprove man-made global warming have only made it a stronger theory...
I just don't get why most articles in SteverPavlina.com have to inevitable end into vegan/vegetarian propaganda. Well, I remain quite skeptical about the true ecological effects of eating meat. It is most likely that we consume a lot more meat than it is sustainable. This over consumption is unlikely to change just if we stop eating meat. It is very hard to quantify the real impact the vegetarian life if everybody went vegetarian. There are studies out there that show that still eating meat but in a more balanced way with vegetables could actually be better in regards to carbon production than going 100% vegetables.
It is always the same tale, that going vegetarian will fix the problem magically. Now, imagine if everybody went vegetarian, we would need a much larger production of crops. Even in places where human-nutritive crops don't grow up right now (ie grass places in which we use cows to allow them to become into crops). Question is, what exactly happens to the animals that were supposed to be living in our crops.
Everybody needs to understand, that eating meat happens to be part of our biology. Nobody goes out criticizing lions for eating antilopes... The real ecological problem, is and has always been over consumption and the industrizalitation. If you want the harm to the environment to reduce. Just not eating meat or animal-related products is not going to change squat. I am so tired of people thinking that just an 'organic' tag in their food bags actually makes a change.
Want to fix this thing? Have your own crops in your garden. The real problem with meat is not the carbon generated by the cows in farms (the carbon ourselves generate would be a bigger problem if that was the case...) It is the ecological cost in transporting the food. If you don't have your own crops, even your vegetables are contributing to the problem, sorry.
And due to space efficiency and seasonal issues. Keeping a couple of chickens for eggs could do wonders. But how about insects? I think there should be plenty of things we could do with insects if we ate them and they should probably be VERY space-efficient!
Some people mantain double standards, factory slaughter houses are terrible for the environment while the ecological impact of factory crops is completely disregarded. Eating dead animals is bad, while eating dead plants isn't. Etc, etc.
Does this whole tale of having your own farm sound too crazy? It is not more far-fetched than Steve's tip of you going to hunt animals yourself.
