Oh yes it is. Just try to count how many times in just last two years they were talking of how much of carbon dioxide, methane and what not gets emitted for each baby, by each cow or a sheep. The conclusion being that the same old Malthusians are running the show again. Proof - they never mention the beneficial effect of carbon dioxide to plant growth, and never come up with any figures on how much of those gases do their airplanes emit, or their armor plated vehicles.
