Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Any that do not say it's bad since most of the carbon is part of the earth's existing carbon cycle?
I don't know what you're on, but it's impolite not to share. You should also read these studies so you don't say stupid shit like this.
It would be easier to take this seriously if any one that questioned it wasn't bombarded with personal attacks like yours.
This tells me you have made an emotional decision that you have backfilled with science and can therefore be ignored.
Again, claiming that anything you don't like is illogical because emotions are at play is a highly emotionally argument. If you don't think the science is rigorous, show scientific reasons why, because as In sure you are liable to say; the science doesn't care how you feel about it, its either factual or it isn't. You have no contradictory evidence, so you resort to, I feel this must be wrong because I don't like it. That's 100% emotional.
You are adding the emotions to my comments. I don't give a fuck if you choose not to eat meat, you on the other hand have a problem with my choice.
The fact that the article has an agenda does not require me to rigorously dismantle every part of it. The agenda automatically disqualifies the science.
The argument you're using is the same one that religious people use where they demand atheists disprove the existence of god and claim atheism is a religion.
Its also funny how you chose to infer how I feel about your choice to eat meat, which I actually never addressed. That's just how YOU feel about what I said. What's funny is that you are the one appealing to emotion, with your strawman argument about religion. In reality, this article makes conclusions based on a body of peer reviewed science. You claim you don't like their slant and expect everybody to come along with you, when frankly nobody asked your opinion and in reality that is closer to what religions do in demanding atheists disprove god. This article actually demonstrates proof of facts with cited science. You claim those studies must all be wrong because they don't prove your argument without so much as offering an alternative demonstrated by anything we can verify. So you're essentially appealing to the idea of meat eating as an infallible diety for which you will accept no proof that contradicts its divinity. Again, its 100% emotion. Its just hilarious at this point. I'm having fun. You?
Wow, another emotional comment from Mr. Rational himself. Did I hurt your feewings?
