Vegetarianism is a viable solution to global warming and one that is often over looked. Even Al Gore fails to discuss it in "An Inconvenient Truth". It is important to talk about if we're truly searching for ways to curb the horrible future that could lie ahead if nothing is done about global warming. It think it is hard to talk about because people love to eat meat. They love it as much as they love to drive their huge SUVs, but that is still being discussed on a very mainstream basis. Here are some statistics that are hard to ignore......

• "the animals we eat emit 21% of all the carbon dioxide that can be attributed to human activity" (http://www.physorg.com/news4998.html)
• "In a groundbreaking 2006 report, the United Nations (U.N.) said that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined." (http://www.goveg.com/environment-globalwarming.asp)
• "animal agriculture accounts for 9% of our carbon dioxide emissions, it emits 37% of our methane, and a whopping 65% of our nitrous oxide" (http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0120-20.htm)
