The Final Solution

From the New York Times comes this helpful bit of advice on how to combat global warming that would make the most dedicated misanthrope blanch (emphasis added):
At a panel on climate change at the University of Cambridge this summer, Mr. (James E.) Lovelock was asked what would be the most effective action people could take. Because humans and their pets and livestock produce about a quarter of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, he said, “just stop breathing.”
Okay, everyone; get out those sleeping pills and plastic bags. We've got to Save the PlanetTM!

Well, that's the most obvious solution. And, if we converted them into food, that'd be the world hunger problem sorted out in one go! Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

Mmm... Soylent Green. (And, because I came up with this brilliant idea, I should be allowed to live, as well as people I think are neat. That counts you, so don't worry.)
