Goracle: Eat Less Meat — Turn to Organic Farming

Fertilizer for brains.

(POLITICO) — Al Gore wants society to ditch meat-heavy diets and go organic to combat global warming.

“Industrial agriculture is a part of the problem,” Gore said Friday during an interview with FearLess Revolution founder Alex Bogusky. “The shift toward a more meat-intensive diet,” the clearing of forest areas in many parts of the world in order to raise more cattle and the reliance on synthetic nitrogen for fertilizer are also problems, he added.

Instead, Gore advocated organic farming and relying on “more productive, safer methods that put carbon back in the soil” to produce “safer and better food.”

In addition to big farms, Gore took a shot at the mining industry, calling mountaintop-removal mining a “horrible practice” that is “just incredibly harmful to the environment and to people.”

The former vice president also criticized climate change skeptics, urging those who support curbs to greenhouse gases to “win the conversation” when it comes to global warming. He compared the struggle against climate skeptics to the fight against racism during the civil rights movement.

When racist comments would come up in the course of conversations, “There came a time when people said, ‘Hey man, why do you talk that way? That’s wrong, I don’t go for that, so don’t talk that way around me. I just don’t believe that.’”

That happened in millions of conversations, and slowly the conversation was won,” he said. “And we still have racism, God knows, but it’s so different now and so much better. And we have to win the conversation on climate.”

    “more productive, safer methods that put carbon back in the soil”
    Uh, Dude? Plants get carbon from the AIR, not the soil. What they need in the soil is NITROGEN.
    And, by far and away the worst offender is Fuel Corn, grown at the expense of soybeans, clover, and other ‘replenishing’ crops.
    What a buffoon of a jackasshat.

    Tell ya what Al. When you get rid of that multimillion dollar villa you call home, start living in a mud hut or some other kind of uber eco friendly joint, grow your own food, and stop using air travel and SUV’s, then I might start to take you seriously.

    And I’m sure this fat fuck never turns down a steak dinner.

    “more productive, safer methods”

    ——–

    As with everything, government is the least qualified to provide this assurance to the American people.

    Only people that can be fired for screwing up, can offer any guarantee of safety. Since government workers have a job for life, and they cannot be fired even when they commit fatal mistakes that are proven beyond all reasonable doubt, they still get to keep their jobs.

    If a private service provider hurts someone, they can be sued for damages, and the customer is free to shop for A DIFFERENT SERVICE PROVIDER.

    Privatize the majority of what the Federal government now provides, and let their be consequences to the reckless acts of thee people who provide these services. You cannot sue the government without it’s permission.

    So Gore wants to save the planet by starving people? Organic methods used to be the way all foods were produced….100YEARS AGO! Now he wants us to go back to less efficient and costlier methods. Yields will be reduced. Prices will go up. People go hungry and maybe…die. Now I get it! Population reduction. Al, you sly son of a bitch. Looking forward to seeing you do your part. Lead the way, Mr. Former vice-president. Here’s a suggestion, if you seal the plastic bag good and tight you can take that last lungful of carbon dioxide with you when you go.

He could start by showing he is not racist, and donating his oceanside house to undocumented Americans. He could also donate all of his proceeds from his stupid movie, just to show he is sincere (we all know he isn’t). It is always YOUR money, and YOUR sacrifice. All the while MANBEARPIG keeps getting larger and larger feeding at the taxpayer trough.

    Using the most advanced ‘organic’ farming methods results in production of crops roughly 1/10th as effective as large scale agriculture. Net effect, 90% of the planet starves. Isn’t that exactly what this retard and his ilk have been advocating for almost 100 years? If anyone invents a time machine, I hope the first thing they do is travel back, and shoot Woodrow Wilson between his beady eyes. Who knows, it might help.

    Yes he certainly did, gastorgrab– the DEMOCRAT Al Gore Sr. It took REPUBLICAN leadership to get the civil rights laws passed– just like it did to finally end slavery during the Civil War– that DEMOCRATS fought against as well.

    If we do what this man says millions of Americans will be starving to death within one generation. Organic farming is NOT healthier for the environment, or for us. Organic farming cannot support the the population we have.
    Remember, this guy and his cohorts believe in the population bomb. They believe there are too many people for the planet to support. The solution? Abortion, euthanasia, and forced population control (just like the Chicoms).
    This “green” philosophy is a veiled threat to the health of all human kind.

    Under the Communists in the former Soviet Union, people were not allowed to own “private property”, but they were allowed to plant a little garden where they lived. With their produce they would bribe their doctors in order to get slightly better healthcare than others. With little to no incentive to enjoy the fruit of their labor, this was all “the people” (not the Communist elite) were allowed to have (hence there wasn’t going to be another revolution). So, the good citizen of the Soviet Union would take their little bag of potatoes to their Doctor in order to get slightly better healthcare. I think this is Al Gore’s idea of a Utopia.

    If I remember correctly over the last few months there have been numerous stories of regular, normal people growing their own gardens and were shut down. The Amish got raided for freaking milk, and some other company in Cali was raided by SWAT for doing something organic and healthy. Wish I could remember what it was. LOL! Just remember it being ridiculous Big Brother.

    So what’s it gonna be Owl? Can’t have it both ways. Only if you can get your grubby hands on the cash profit then it meets approval?
