Nature ^ | August 8, 2019 | Quirin Schiermeier

Efforts to curb greenhouse gas-emissions and the impacts of global warming will fall significantly short without drastic changes in global land use, agriculture and human diets, leading researchers warn in a high-level report commissioned by the United Nations.

The special report on climate and land by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describes plant-based diets as a major opportunity for mitigating and adapting to climate change ― and includes a policy recommendation to reduce meat consumption.

The language is suitably vague but the intent is profound: impose a horrific Soviet-style agricultural system on the entire world, with US being the prime target. IOW mass starvation to facilitate an inescapable totalitarian government. And we’re supposed to surrender our 1st and 2d Amendment rights. AS SOON AS COWS START FAARTING GOLD!!

They aren’t afraid to broadcast their immediate goals. Long term, they want to replace cattle corrals with human corrals.

Two things,
1st - The “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)” is mostly a collection of bureaucrats not scientists.

2nd - The journal Nature is British. They will publish crap to advance political agendas.

YES! Leftists, eat less meat. Drive the price down so I can afford more.

They can pry my prime rib from my cold, dead hands...

Guess tomorrow I have to stop off at the butchers in that case.

Dear UN: Send your men so I can build myself a ramp out of hell already.

Something like this was actually social convention in 19th century England. The working class males were several inches shorter than their male elite counterparts primarily because of differences in protein consumption.

So, shut up an eat your gruel!

Screw the UN.

My wife and I raise Angus beef cattle. We've got a freezer full of a steer we had butcher last year. We're fattening up another one now to put into another freezer.

Grilled, inch-thick bone-in ribeye is so tasty and almost melts in your mouth.

We have a big vegetable garden and fruit trees we eat off of too but we're not giving up beef because some Leftist UN climate change scammer wants us to.

It’s an interesting problem to consider over a bacon-wrapped filet mignon, which is probably how the idea originated in the first place.

Nope, the haute cuisine, high priced, good stuff.

You know the kind that kills the planet.

Meat for me, but not for thee.

Note the US ambassador to the UN: Hows about tweeting some pics of the menu, eh?

Yep. They mean YOU, not them. They will still fly around on jets eating Kobe beef. “It’s for the Children”.

Based on the Left’s own logic I am interpreting that Eat Less Meat means calling for less oral sex . . . :)

Only if they're made from plants ;-)

From Sean Connery version of "Robin and Marian" Robin Hood : I wouldn't have you in my service, nobleman. I've known your kind all my life. You're everything I'm meant to fight. *You're* the enemy. You gobble good red meat, and we get bread and cheese. The laws can't touch you and there's no crime you can be punished for, and we can shoot a deer and have our eyes put out. This is *my* forest. I'll live here as I like. You come in again, I'll kill you.

Emphasis Mine

Beans, beans,
The wonder fruit.
The more you eat,
The more you toot.

There’s your greenhouse emissions.
