Reread my post. I said "If we were REALLY serious" about stopping global warming. Nobody's serious about it (certainly not me) but if they were the above idea WOULD be the best way to eliminate or cut down on the problem. And, yes, you're probably right about how many people such a drastic cut in diet would kill. But, again, compared to the millions that the likes of Al Gore says are going to die because of global warming then the above would still be a better alternative. The best alternative is to ignore the insane rantings of the Al Gore's of the world and just get on with your life.
