    Study shows that meat eating people contribute to global warming about 50% more than vegetarians, and about twice as much as vegans.

HAH.

That sensationalist headline is total bullshit.

The person's diet contributes twice as much. It says nothing about the contributions to global warming in general.

Yes, meat takes more to make, and makes more emissions. No, it is not nearly as significant as the bullshit articles floating around.
