I especially like the first part which is more science-based. Part two is written in a more popular science fashion which I don´t like because I think that people should draw their own conclusions. Les Edye, who is the Australian representative in IEA Bioenergy Task 39, stated at a conference: "If people are worried about deforestration in the Amazonian, they should stop eating meat." I fully agree, and I like the T-shirt in your cartoon. Dina Jim,
