Hi Phil
Well I think motor Sport is worth attacking if hypocracy is high on your hate list.

And before I wrote off motor Sport as inconsequential I first would like to know some figures. ...but I am guessing the carbon footprint would not be insignificant ..it's not only the fuel but the energy that goes into producing each vehicle and the high maintenance such as tyres....think of how many tyres a V8 Super car uses in a single outing for example then think of the coal that is burnt to supply the electricity for just that one item..I can't believe motor Sport is of no consequence..and frankly I think we could be tolerant of the methane due to cows given that it is somewhat related to production of food and therefore somewhat a necessity.

I don't think I will be accepting drag racing and changing to eating..er what exactly...what more efficient way of producing protein than cattle..maybe some sort of grain I guess with the land being dug by hand rather than tractors.

I do think although one can casually dismiss tractor pulling drag racing car racing boat racing plane racing etc and perhaps mega yatchs as simply too small a contribution to be meaningful I do think some focus on the wastefulness of resources would be sensible before expecting the mob to accept changes without out addressing such waste ...it is hypocritical and could be addressed for such hypocracy if for no other reason.

I find it extrodinary that you could suggest we perhaps should focus on removing a food source before plugging other holes in the boat.
Once we have eliminated the waste that is motor sport and waste generally sure we can move onto working out a more effective way of producing protein.. but in my book not before.
