Methane gas contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Every time I eat an animal, it is reducing the amount of methane that animal would have produced if it were alive.
If I eat vegetables all the time, I am reducing the amount of carbon dioxide being removed by the plants thus increasing the greenhouse effect. Not to mention the energy needed to produce mock meat for vegetarians who secretly still want to eat meat.
Therefore, if you love the earth, eat more meat! :D
Interesting.. I have a friend who doesn't eat meat going by arguments around that too. But his reasoning is that animals are livestock. If you eat meat, you are encouraging the agriculture hence supporting production of more methane and toxic gases for the environment.
