Marijuana causes global warming

[Chris_]

Marijuana causes global warming, uses 1% of U.S. electricity

This is a joke, right?

People growing marijuana indoors use 1 percent of the U.S. electricity supply, and they create 17 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year (not counting the smoke exhaled) according to a report by Evan Mills, an energy analyst at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

After medical pot use was made legal in California in 1996, Mills says, per-person residential electricity use in Humboldt County jumped 50 percent compared to other parts of the state.

In order to produce some 17,000 metric tons of marijuana this year, Mills estimates authorized growers will use $5 billion worth of energy. That works out to the output of seven big electric power plants.

I disagree, I find that sex causes Global Warming.

Billions of people rubbing up on each other must raise the temperature a bit, you know friction.

Not to mention the burps and farts from humans and animals around the Globe.

The heat generated by thousands at a race track or the soccer games, darn lots of hot bodies there.

All in all I still think the number one cause is sex.   All humans and animals do --[IT] and with overpopulation on earth today, the more sex we have the higher the heat goes all around the Globe.

I still get a kick out of the term, "medical marijuana".
