| Environmental groups like Greenpeace and now PETA are using celebrities and bimbos to advance their causes. If you judge it on the fact that they get TV coverage then it works. Here I was thinking a sound argument, logic and factual evidence would do it.What we need are volunteers to dress up in something scanty or maybe a celebrity to sign up with us and we’ll be away. Maybe Mike King would do, he knows all about giving endorsements.The sad reality is that these people go unchallenged. The celebs like Lucy Lawless who are pushing for NZ to sign the Copenhagen agreement that replaces Kyoto, have no idea of the ramifictions of what they promote. Ask her about the difference between livestock methane and fossil fuel methane and she would be Lucy Clueless. Talking about clueless these three in the picture want everyone to become vegetarians to save the planet.
They are from PETA an international group of nutters who oppose farming animals. Would not expect to get much traction in NZ but they mainstream their argument when they use global warming and argue you can save the planet by going vegetarian. |

| Lets see, vegetables, fertiliser, pesticides, continuous tilling of the soil releasing more soil carbon to the atmosphere than pastoral farming. I mentioned the danger of shallow thinking in my Straight Furrow article this week and here we see it again.Farming as an industry seems to enjoy being the whipping boy, it never fights back! These clueless beauties should be taken to task and made to justify their claims.There a lot of very serious well funded organisations dedicated to putting the boot into livestock farming and global warming is the tool they are using at the moment. We can take that tool out of their toolbox very easily once we get enough support to get our message out there. We have to get the message out there that livestock are not bad for the planet. Their emissions do not cause global warming.
Please email this website on to any of your contacts who may be interested in joining us, we need them. Tell them to google farmcarbon that is the easiest way to the website. Otherwise we may have to resort to a parade of scantily dressed farmers marching for the TV or get some celebrities to help us, but that is a bit tacky really, better to leave that sort of stuff to Greenpeace and the lettuce queens.
