Eat a marsupial, save mother EARTH!

    So, in my daily internet browsing, I came across a website completely devoted to convincing people that global warming is a hoax. This website, which is apparently 'viewed daily by people who work for NASA, NOAA, EPA, the Senate, and the House', uses increasingly idiotic articles to convince its viewers that the world is not getting any less liveable.
    One such article, titled 'Eat a Kangaroo; Save the Planet' merely tells us that Australia's greenhouse gas output is largely affected by its livestock of cattle and sheep. Well, at least that's what I got out of the article. It does, however, give a suggestion as to how we can remedy this... by eating kangaroo instead of beef.
    First of all, let me just say.. wtf?
    If you're stooping so low as attempting to persuade people that global warming is fake, then why go so far as to offer ways to... counteract a 'fake' worldly ailment. It's kind of a contradiction to give someone a cure for Giant Unicorn-Shaped Tumor Syndrome (GUSTS) when you don't believe it exists, isn't it? The same applies here. They obviously have doubts themselves if they are using their cause against themselves.
    On their main page they explain that they offer anonymous posting and commenting, due to the fact that someone's teacher or boss might be an 'environmental chicken little'. I guess what they're implying is that when people who believe global warming is very much real, they also think that the sky is falling. I guess us realistic people could also be known as pessimists, or something to that effect.
    I just wonder what their deal is when it's obvious people should be nicer to the environment. Even if they DON'T think it's happening, isn't it good to recycle, pick up trash, and cut on fuel usage? I don't know, I just think that these anti-global-warming people should let people continue to do their 'green' thing to make the world healthier, even if it isn't getting hotter and hotter.
