Follow me on this.
Anyone who reads the Enquirer or has seen Mad Max 3 (The Thunderdome one with Tina Turner and that midget) knows one thing for certain: Livestock pollute the air with methane.
While the BBQ Grill may cause a temporary clouding of the atmosphere, think what would happen if all them cows and pigs were left alive to chew up grass and blow methane bubbles all day. I have no idea how long pigs live (or cows for that matter) but I know my dog is coming up on 9 years and the methane that he produces is no small amount compared to the available air in our house. I suspect an ozone problem in the garage but I can't confirm that.
If it were not for the BBQ Grill, the Earth's atmosphere might well resemble Titan's atmosphere. In fact, I would suggest that Titan's atmosphere is a direct result of an overabundance of alien livestock combined with a lack of BBQ Grills. Of course, I'd have to defer to #1Son's expertise, seeing as he hangs out with all those rocket-scientist types down in Houston.
Think long term here, people. If BBQ Grills are outlawed, only outlaws will have BBQ Grills. No, wait, wrong point. If BBQ Grills are outlawed, then somebody better start adding Bean-O to the fertilizer or we're all gonna need to grow gills to survive!
