Al Gordo's Carbon Footprint now Global Warming Risk

June 5, 2007 (LPAC)--According to a new book entitled the "Global Warming Diet," to be published next year, your food choices can have a negative impact on the climate. The Associated Press reports today that the authors cite a 1999 study by the Union of Concern Scientists, which found that eating beef and poultry, and non-organic fruits and vegetables, was the consumer's the most harmful possible activity for the global climate. Unless, of course, he drives a gasoline-powered car!

The "Global Warming Diet" book is a replay of the local control and fascism of Middlebury College's Bill McGibben, who calls for consumers to build their neighborhoods and the local farmers market, to combat global climate change.

How much will Al Gordo have to spend, to "carbon offset" his carbo footprint?
