BlackRoseEating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
Move to lemm.eeIn this thread: Shit loads of people who will say they care about the climate crisis on one day, then say they don’t care about the 18.5% of carbon emissions that the meat industry causes the next day.
Individual habits MUST be changed to solve this part of the problem. Getting triggered and writing screeds because you’ve spent decades getting caught up in jokes about vegans won’t stop the planet burning.
ralotharThat still leaves over 80% in other industries. Though I’ll admit dialing back ones meat consumption is advisable anyway, if only for health reasons, blaming meat consumption on anti-veganism is moronic.
For me personally it’s about texture and taste and not somebody telling me that eating salad leads to deficiencies.
Until real alternatives, not some crappy beyond meat soy proteins, emerge and are affordable, nothing will change on that front
Yeah but we need to dial everything back, because we can’t dial all industries back. Every single gain that we can make is worthwhile and this one is easy for almost everyone except those with understandable dietary problems like IBS sufferers and crohns. It’s an area that we could completely eradicate our carbon output in, not just that but certain crops can actually be carbon positive so increasing what we need of them through replacement in diet is actually beneficial.
If you don’t make the change there won’t be any texture or taste soon because climate change is going to make the food supply collapse. If your country doesn’t have a revolution in the chaos the government will go into rationing and you will have no choice. If the revolution succeeds the new government will do the same. And if that does not happen the country will just be in persistent civil war as people starve and die. These are the incoming realities of climate change. They are unavoidable if action is not taken literally yesterday.
Thank god we have people like you who can predict the future. Tell me will this next revolution starve those people before or after carbon emissions collapse our food chain?
Jesus christ mate I’m not the person saying it, the climate scientists are. The main warning happening now is that everything is happening faster than predicted and that we’re likely to hit tipping points in 2-5 years that cause cascading failures destroying global food supplies.
Open your eyes ffs.
You should probably stop worrying too much about “experts” opinions. Now don’t get me wrong I do know that we’re facing problems but claiming everything will collapse in 5 years is just fearmongering.
Experts of the past claimed London would drown in horse poop, around came the automobile.
Experts claimed Y2K would be a major issue, here we are.
You see the issue? Future predictions are rarely true and most of the time way out of proportion. And that’s especially true for predictions of global climate, currents and even the weather
Climate change deniers can eat my ass. The predictions have been true, what’s worse is that they’re happening a decade faster than predicted.
