Would you become veggie to help save the planet?

The issue of what to do with the unnecessary cattle has been discussed and beaten to death by now, so let's move on to some other issues. What will be done about the methane produced by the human species, then? Considering you're suggesting we all take up what amounts to a high-fiber diet, now it's the silly talking monkeys that are making all the gas.
Facetious banter aside, if you were enterprising, you would suggest harvesting the methane to use as an alternate fuel source. I understand that's what pig farmers in China do; the pigs have their sties in the basement; the methane from their emissions is collected and used for the stove in the kitchen upstairs. Efficiency, ladies and gentlemen, efficiency should be the name of the game.
EDIT: I suppose I should answer the question. No, I would not go vegetarian because I don't think it's the solution to the world's problems.
Also, I'm pretty sure I saw a thread exceedingly similar to this last week.

As I answered before in a similar thread, you can have my bacon when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Ha ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha NO.
Meat is freaking delicious and climate change "science" has become inextricably linked to environmentalism, which is not at all what it sounds like on the face of it (ie, reverence for the environment, not just taking care of it responsibly). Suffice it to say, we can't predict what the hell the weather is going to do tomorrow, let alone 100 years from now, no matter how much we pretend otherwise. The global warming alarmists have taken data from skewed studies, applied their flawed "the world was a paradise until mankind came along and ruined it all" mindset to the problem they've convinced themselves we have, and suggested solutions that would ultimately make so little difference as to be rendered completely pointless.
This is one such useless 'solution'.

I thought they changed the name to "Climate Change", because the last few winters have been the coldest in years where I am.arc101 said:
if everyone was vegitarian you would have to set aside large areas of farm land to raise crops which leads to depleting of nutrients found in soil that are critical to plant growth, erosion of top soil, which means we would need to fertilze the crops more, the runoff of which would pollute water sources. And eventually with the popluation ever increasing farmlands would end up completly barren. Cows stacked untop of cows eating ground up bits of cow hoof and horn crammed full of growth hormone in a feed lot is better for the enviroment if you can contain and clean runoff.PureChaos said:
O MY GOD!! PETA SUPPORTERS HAVE INFILTRATED THE ESCAPIST!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
naaa, hehe, just kidding, and no, It´s common knowledge that all the live stock can produce so much methane to sick a country (look at Australia)
and I would never stop eating meat for the life of anyone!

Well considering humans aren't even really responsible for climate change (In fact, most Carbon is emitted naturally) and the fact that it is good for humans to have meat in their diets, no I would not.
No way, especially as I'm a sceptic when it comes to man-made climate change. I'll happily keep on eating my meat and ignore most of the global warming hysterics which go on around me.
