Don't eat any more meat...
...or you'll increase:
UN says eat less meat to curb global warming
Juliette Jowit, environment editorPeople should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
[...]
Last year a major report into the environmental impact of meat eating by the Food Climate Research Network at Surrey University claimed livestock generated 8 per cent of UK emissions - but eating some meat was good for the planet because some habitats benefited from grazing. It also said vegetarian diets that included lots of milk, butter and cheese would probably not noticeably reduce emissions because dairy cows are a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas released through flatulence.
The main source of flatulence and hot air is from the leftists who want to run our lives. I think I'll have steak and eggs for breakfast today, and a burger for lunch, and steak for dinner. Just my own little message to the UN: fuck off.

Huh - an Indian telling us not to eat meat...you don't think there might be some other motivation besides imagination-stretching links to global warming, do you?
From that flawless source of information, the Wikipedia: "Pachauri is a strict vegetarian, partly due to his beliefs as a Hindu, and partly because of the impact of meat-production on the environment."
Now let me recommend how much toilet tissue you should use...

Next thing you'll know is that they'll start asking humans to stop pooping for a day since we also put out methane, and that will be followed by asking us to stop breathing one day a week, because when we exhale we expel carbon dioxide.

Lori, you don't know how close to the truth you are...

I just had a hot do with sauerkraut on it, so I will soon be contributing to global warning in two ways.
