Where’s the beef?

From Isla Earth:
Economist Nathan Fiala of the University of California, Irvine has a beef...about
beef. Specifically, he's concerned about the impact producing beef has on warming
the atmosphere. How much impact? All-told, producing a pound of beef generates the
equivalent of 14.8 pounds of carbon dioxide: more than 36 times the amount emitted
by producing asparagus… What can be done? Fiala says for one thing, we could all beef
up a bit on our understanding. So he's created a "Greenhouse Burgers" web site that
features a burger impact calculator.
