That seems like the least of our problems, what with the use of gigatons of coal, oil, and natural gas.

Also, I'm willing to limit use of coal, oil, and natural gas. I'm not willing to eat less steak.

Raising cattle for meat produces a huge amount of methane, and also is the number one reason for rainforest destruction, and overall is (surprisingly) the greatest contributor to global warming, so if you are truly worried about the greatest of out problems, then you would reduce your meat intake.

I don't believe you. Your claims are simply not credible.
Your bad attitude doesn't change the truth.
