By way of William Teach's Pirate's Cove, Typical Barbecue Is Just As Bad As A 90 Mile Fossil Fueled Trip Or Something

In other words, there’s zero problem, but, hey, Warmist nags have to be Warmist nags

Typical barbecue is as bad for the planet as a 90 mile car journey, scientists warn

A typical barbecue releases as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as a 90-mile car journey, scientists have found.
The study found that red meat such as burgers were the worst culprit – causing nearly five times as much damage as one portion of chicken.
Adding cream to strawberries doubled the amount of greenhouse gas released, scientists said.
Manchester University experts calculated the impact of a typical barbecue meal based around beefburgers, before comparing it with a chicken-based meal, or a vegan option.

Their analysis found the burger meal, topped with cheese, would create more than 800 balloons worth of greenhouse gas emissions for a family of four – equivalent to a 90 mile drive in a typical car.
If the same family swapped the burgers for chicken, the emissions dropped dramatically – to the equivalent of 51 miles.
And those opting for vegetarian sausages, and cutting out extras like cheese and butter, saw their carbon footprint fall still lower, down to 33 miles per family.

Can these people be any more annoying? They can just mind their own business. Try yammering about this in the South and they’re lucky if the only phrase they hear is “bless your heart.” Keep going, and the next discussion involves what highways travel where. See, it’s funny that these same people want the Government out of our bedrooms (code for unfettered abortion) yet want the Government in every other aspect of our lives.

Well, they could nag about plastic bags, straws and disposable plastic cups, plates and cutlery, I suppose. Oh wait, they already do.
