All the money Hamilton earns comes from the motor trade. They have lobbied long and hard against action on man made climate change. Pointing in another direction is just part of that PR offensive. Mercedes make huge returns from climate destroying vehicles, they will say anything to deflect attention from themselves. Far from being mentally “challenged” these comments indicate Hamilton knows full well which sided his bread is houmoused.
 
In todays " Daily Telegraph" Lewis Hamilton has been interviewed and stated the following : Agriculture & farming is the largest pollutant we currently have by over 50%. He then goes on to say that eating meat has been a lie which has continued for hundreds of years.
Make of his ramblings what you will,I disagree 100% with his comments.

Ah Lewis Hamilton, that well known celebrity chef and diet guru....

Eating meat is a lie that has continued for hundreds of years. No pal, evidence of meat eating goes back eons.

Exactly - all a load of biases etc. How many vegwans grow their own foods and do not add to the impact of the environment?
exactly , when i was learning , you feed the soil to feed your crops , remove animal byproducts from the nutrient cycle , whats going to feed all these vegetable crops ? chemical fertiliser is an even worse greenhouse gas pollutant (nox) , also with more veg crops , disease and pest problems will rise , will they use oil based sprays ?, all i can see from vegetarian message is the starving poor, coupled with exporting all our emissions and welfare standards

All hypocrites are open to abuse imo... albeit that was very mild
Doesn’t answer his argument though. Anyone who speaks on climate change is bound to be hypocritical because everyone lives within an unsustainable system. Calling us hypocrites doesn’t invalidate our arguments it’s just another bout of name calling.

Reading the comments below the Telegraph article, there isn't a single comment surporting him. Not many calling out his lies about farming mainly about his astonishing hypocracy, and why not? He's a grade A pillock.
