California set to criminalize thought

[fan_since79]

Goodbye, First Amendment. Climate change skeptics could be prosecuted under a new law working its way through the state senate.

This is not satire.

That has to be unconstitutional.

Oh, CaLOLifornia 

 

 

 

[Angelsjunky]

This is even worse than mandatory vaccines.

The bill is actually to criminalize companies for releasing fraudulent data on climate change in order to skirt regulations or to defraud the public.

The conservative spin says otherwise.

The sad thing is that animal agriculture is a a bigger cause of greenhouse gas emissions than the production and combustion of fossil fuels. Funny that no one talks about that.

[HaloMagic]

The sad thing is that if there were more trees and shit to breath in all the CO2 we produce we wouldn't be in this dilemma. Funny that the vegetarians don't talk about that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay away from my beef Ray

Trees and shit. Well said.

[HaloMagic]

I originally went with "trees and leafy green shit" but then I remembered the brown leaves of autumn.

Nope, this is just shit that vegetarians say.  In fact fossil fuel use has about 3x more impact than animal agriculture.

That is the first link on google that comes up in a search. If you care to do a little more research, you will find differently.

Yes, it has been the widely-held belief that animal agriculture accounts for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, but that number is skewed. Here is one report that points out some of the fallacies: http://www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock and Climate Change.pdf

Regardless of whether or not a person eats meat, here is a documentary (it's streaming on Netflix) that is worth watching: http://www.cowspiracy.com/

It points out that most companies (including the vast majority of environmental organizations) are essentially in it for the money and, as a result, these businesses are willing to go along with whatever ideology serves their best interest and bottom line.

Sorry, but that's bullshit, and the science says otherwise.

That documentary you suggested is also riddled with bullshit and outdated figures.
