Coal is a fossil fuel. Returning ancient carbon to the atmosphere. Cattle is a bio-fuel. The methane/carbon they release was captured by the grains and grasses shortly before the cattle consumed it, and will continue growing after they've consumed it. Cattle should be the trendy and expensive thing among the outspoken, virtue-signaling greens. It's plant-based. Contains all-natural ingredients. Isn't made in a lab/on an assembly line with a a bunch of chemicals with scary names. Old hippies should each buy a cow to keep their lawns mowed and fertilized without burning gasoline.

  It was an identification of a sub-group, not an insult. But as far as I can recall, it has always been fair game to criticize public figures for their espoused opinions and public actions. Being offended by everything, and making it everyone else's fault, is the part that is new these days.

    It wasn't an insult? Funny, I thought it was the same as calling someone a hypocrite. Indeed, it's fair game to insult other people. Sadly, it's prohibited by the rules of this forum. Disagree with them? Great. Accuse them of being hypocrites? Less great.

        He is extremely rude to me, to appease him I edited my comment and he just angrily attacks every point I make without reading any information. Because he just attacks me so I don't see any reasonable communication with a purely ad hominem poster. Internet bullies will only be affected by lack of attention to their trolling.

Buffalo is ignored even though it’s such an obvious harm reduction option.
