Opinion: Let them eat chicken

The worthies attending the United Nations COP28 climate summit in Dubai are mostly not eating meat. That's because they believe and have been told that meat leads to flatulence and flatulence leads to "global warming." Instead, they're getting mostly plant-based food. In another fitting irony, some attendees came from European countries where there is heavy snow and cold temperatures. Their private jets emit far more CO2 than many steaks.
