on An Hour With Al Gore

AL:

Thank you for all you have done to publicize many of the sources of global warning.  You have "conveniently" left out one of the most significant sources - that of the production of livestock products.  This is likely due to your family's historical ties with the industry.  Which is more important - improving and protecting planetary and human health, or continuing to ignore the (livestock) elephant in the room?

We can all begin to ride bicycles and drive Prius's, but only until we move strongly down the food chain to vegetables, fruits, and grains (locally grown mostly) will we have a prayer of slowing climate change.

I have enclosed links to articles that speak much more eloquently than I can about the scientific and moral need to move on this.  For the sake of planetary and human health, please incorporate this message into all future presentations.  The very future of our quality of life depends on it.
