Every time we exhale we are spewing CO2 into the atmosphere - not to mention what kind of green house gasses are coming out of the other end of human beings and farm animals ;)

Hmm. I know your being facetious but breathing by all 'breathers' can be easily handled by trees. Pretty small percentage contribution to the overall CO2 levels

lol. OTOH it is true that *intensive* livestock production does produce large quantities of methane. Huge acreages of arable land are used to feed animals for meat production.
As a hill livestock farmer with very low stocking levels (on land which is not viable for arable crops) I don't feel guilty - but there is a problem.

>BTW, you are forgetting that in Newspeak it is not "global warming" anymore - it is "climate change"

If global warming is the reason for climate change then I don't see the distinction......
