If you missed Diane Sawyer's interview of Al Gore today on Good Morning America, then you missed the former Vice President taking some real heat-- the kind that's not caused by carbon.
Methane was a hot topic as Diane Sawyer alluded to the fact that the amount of methane gas created from cows is "20 times more damaging" than CO2, a direct challenge to the global warming guru. Sawyer then presented Al Gore with a Glenn Beck clip where Beck called out Gore on his meat consumption.
Al Gore's response:
[Laughing]: "Well, you know, there is a serious issue about the connection between the growing meat intensity of diets around the world and damage to the environment. That is a legitimate issue. And like a lot of people, I eat less meat now than I used to. I'm not a vegetarian, don't plan to become one, but it's a healthy choice to eat more vegetables and fruits. So it's not a laughable issue."
Laughing-and-meat-eating Al Gore prefers you neither laugh nor eat meat.
