" Remember how badly the press wanted to run the pictures of the coffins coming back from the war. They couldn't wait to get that done now but you don't hear anybody scrambling for anything and I'd I'd hate to have the president -- decision. On Afghanistan I'd hate to have to have him cut may be short his solar panel trip today. Now there's some news that you need to pay attention to and all this week on Friday we're going to be covering this for a full hour. The run up to the big UN climate change conference in Copenhagen in December could mean the end of the US sovereignty. Today the Senate environment and public works committee holds a hearing on clean energy jobs and American power act. The president has toured a solar energy center again -- in mister president before you deal with the war. And then this story comes from the UK. Stop global warming by stop eating meat that it sounds familiar it's because the United Nations brought it up before. This time it comes from the U case climate chief lord stern that brand Ford. He told the times of London quote need is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gasses it puts enormous pressure on the world's resources a vegetarian diet is better good -- I'm gonna have a stake. Americans love our stakes we love our -- we love our burgers and -- stopped -- throw me in jail my last meal will be at giants stink. Are we gonna stand for that are we going to put up with -- as well. You think not but in Baltimore Maryland public schools have now started in the schools know indoctrination near meatless Monday no -- on the menu. For 80000 kids that they serve no -- that way the students can quote. Eat and learn about healthy environmentally friendly choices. School board did this in concert with a group called meatless Monday who say they are committed to cutting out -- one day a week for their health and the health of our planet. But back in England where lord stern says over time people's attitudes will change towards eating meat. Just like they have for other things adding I'm 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving -- change radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what's responsible -- he is right we don't have blood putting anymore either. As late as the 1970 some people treated drunk driving like a sport. Think how much that has changed not just the laws but the way people think about it socially unacceptable -- for first used to be assigned -- need it. Thanks the celebrity posters. Joining groups like camped out. Attitudes have changed people still wear fur but now they're in danger of getting covered in red paint I mean who wants to do that don't -- people -- to scare them. But now we're talking about food choice as socially responsible. Celebrities from Paul McCartney the Pamela Anderson they don't eat meat. -- good for them. I'm gonna have a stake personal choice means you can do what you want but not at that it's expensive the planet -- That's that's actually why I'm siding with -- on this one. Once again asking Al Gore I don't have a phone for you but maybe you'd call the White House and they can put call through here. If you really want to save the planet out wanted to put down a cheeseburgers and pick up your veggie burger time for maybe soy milk and toast -- No more delicious chocolate cookies known -- well how about a nice bean thing. That we can eat. That is if you wanna save the planet Al. I've said before I disagree with Peta but I respect -- up because they're the only ones that are not hypocrites on global warming. They say what they mean and mean what they say I just have to disagree with what they say but hey. That's America. Except to -- it calls for Al Gore. To eat tofu or someone to force me to eat it what really scares me is the times writes our lord stern said quote. Our successful -- successful dealing climate change conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring cost for meet. And other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases wow. And I heard something almost like that what does that remind me -- let me think Clinton think let me think. Under my plan. Of a Cap and Trade System. Electricity rates. Would necessarily skyrocket. -- You know we'll -- that front. The same guy that the Senate confirmed Katz side is being don't outlaw anything just make it so it is expensive that it's out of reach. Nudge it out of reach and by the way according to the times lord stern. Is not a vegetarian. Next global warming alarmist verses sped crazy thing civilians. Stick around."
