Hi Platt,

I did not say that I believe all people should stop eating 
meat.  That PETA has suggested such a law has nothing to do with the 
cause of global warming.  You're right, though, absurdity knows no 
bounds.  I did suggest that the production of beef for human 
consumption might be a source of excessive amounts of bovine flatulence.

Platt, you wrote that '"there are plenty of experts who say global 
warming ain't happening."  I thought you actually knew of plenty of 
such experts that would represent evidence for your statement.  I 
guess you don't.
