Why is that?  Mother's milk is INTENDED for our consumption. 


Oh yeah, didn't think about that. Confused

It's still weird, though!
Yeah, but you are supposed to stop drinking it once you have your own teeth aren't you,Confused
What?

My girlfriend's a vegetarian so that pretty much makes me a vegetarian too. She makes the most delicious veggie foods, so I'm doing fine if I don't see a piece of meat for weeks. Nowadays I eat meat at work almost every day, but if the world ran out of cows and pigs, I'd have no problem switching to beans and stuff.

You vegetarians contribute to global warming and I'll tell you why.
 
 Cow's poop turns into methane gas. Vegetarians do not eat cows. Without us meat-eaters there would be zillions and zillions of cows populating the world and pooping more methane gas.....until one day one of the cows farts and creates a worldwide nuclear explosion.
 
DAMN VEGETARIANS!!Angry

Well, I imagine that cows would likely be extinct at the rate we're eating them if we didn't breed them commercially. So, we're probably at fault here. And there are a lot of animals pooping besides cows. Wink

Yeah, that's what is, cow poop. Not the millions of internal combustion engines, smoke stacks, and fluorocarbons.

Ignoring the fact that Global Warming is nonsense based on misinformation and poor science,  and barring the fact that cattle only exist in such large numbers due to our carnivorous nature, Keppa is absolutely right!

And the world is flat, the Moon landing was staged in a Texas desert, and the Tooth Fairy does exist.

Nonsense. The world has accepted it now. You're fighting a lost battle, and a very wrong one. Can I ask you what is 'poor' about the science? What 'misinformation'? Please explain what you mean by this.
 
Although actually a lot of the 'global warming is wrong' science has been complete BS. Remember that 'Big Swindle' programme on channel 4? Where they just completely mis-interpreted data and used it incorrectly deliberately to try and give the impression nothing was wrong. And when climate scientists told them about this and complained about it, the channel 4 response was literally 'f**k off' Dead
 
Are you disagreeing with the fact that the worlds climate is changing, or the fact that we are causing it?

The world climate is changing.  The world climate has been changing for as long as the world has existed.  The climate also happens to be one of the most poorly understood systems a scientist can study.  To attribute a change in a system (a change which isn't even statistically significant!) to a single factor when there are hundreds of poorly understood factors affecting the system is poor science.

Yes the climate naturally changes, but we are having an overt amount of influence on how it changes.

And it is changing at a rapid rate, believed to be the most  rapid in millions of years, because of a sudden large increase of one factor! That makes perfect sense and I don't see why you think that qualifies it as bad science. Just because it has many factors affecting it, doesn't mean one factor suddenly changing can not have an impact! The fact that it is so delicately balanced by a range of factors means it makes even more sense that it changes if one of the factors increases.  
 
Your logic is like saying a change in tempature won't change rate of photosynthesis just because there are other factors as well.
 
Sure it isn't the most easily statistical thing to analyse. But there is tonnes of observational evidence supporting a rapidly changing climate, and there is some statistical evidence linking it to all these CO2 levels and other gas levels. It would be bad science to ignore statistical correlations and observational evidence. Do we have any evidence of other factors affecting climate changing at a rate similar to the rate at which global climate is increasing?
