In choosing our Christmas dinner – or making any other choice – we appear to take informed and rational decisions. But what looks and feels right is sometimes anything but. In this case, the very features we have been led to see as virtuous (animals wandering freely across the mountains tended by horny-handed shepherds, no concrete and steel monstrosities or any of the other ugliness of modern intensive farming) generate astonishing impacts.
Oh fuck off and die, you miserablist, misanthropic cunt. Really, his diatribe is worth no more than that.
Nothing new here, just Moonbat being his usual cuntish self. However, I would offer apologies to any cunts who read that sentence because at least they, unlike Moonbat, have a purpose and real biological utility.
One comment to his incessant moaning about sheep farts causing warble gloaming was, have we reached peak moonbat? Probably not.
‘Peak’ Moonbat? Hmm. Only if ‘peak’ in Moonbats case has some weird inverse mathematical relationship to reality.
Hard to tell if I agree with him as I can’t figure out what the fuck he’s on about…
Doesn’t the imbecile realise that without modern industrial farming we would all literally starve to death? He should also realise that his obsession with carbon dioxide is a bit last century.
I wonder if these idiots realise that many domesticated breeds of cattle literally wouldn’t survive without us. Dairy herds *walk themselves* to the milking machines for very good reason. They don’t need to be told more than once; if they don’t get milked, it *hurts*. Ovine and bovine herds were bred for their docility; many breeds rely heavily on us humans to defend them from becoming prey.
As for the farting issue: last time I checked, humans were not magical creatures who can eat legumes, grains and cereals without breaking wind even once. Indeed, I’m pretty sure there’s a bit of well-known doggerel about the effects of beans that touches upon this very subject.
There is of course a simple solution to reduce man’s impact on the planet and that is for Moonbat to hang himself.
Funnily enough that is always an unpopular option among those who wish humans to stop existing.
Surely the impact of meat is zero anyway? Where does he think the carbon came from? Clue: it came out of the atmosphere into the grass, then into the animal. What didn’t get turned into more animal comes out the other end. If anything, they are a carbon sink, not a producer.
Pete that is a really good point. It demonstrates that the climate change zealots tend to have no actual understanding of the issue that they are addressing. If there is an issue it lies solely with the use of fossil fuels and the release into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide that has been removed from it steadily over millions of years. All the other stuff about livestock emitting carbon dioxide and methane in their burps, note not farts but burps, is irrelevant.
Also, did you know that Monbiot came really close to seeing the light when the climategate emails were released? Presumably the knowledge that the Guardian would have fired him if he had renounced the faith made him come to his senses.
