Livestock production needs to reach its peak within the next decade in order to tackle the climate emergency, scientists have warned.
They are calling for governments in all but the poorest countries to set a date for “peak meat” because animal agriculture is a significant and fast-growing source of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Cattle and sheep emit large amounts of methane while forests are destroyed to create pasture and grow the grains that are fed to intensively reared animals.
The world’s scientists agree that huge amounts of carbon dioxide will have to be removed from the atmosphere to limit global heating to 1.5C. More than 80% of farmland is used for livestock but it produces just 18% of food calories.

Could swear I learned in school that trees need CO2 to survive.
Ditto.
Increasing CO2 levels will make forests thrive.
All the paleo and Atkins folks are going to be displeased
I’m perfectly happy to do that if I can hunt the vegans and communists forcing this on us.
The world’s scientists agree
That the Earth is the center of the universe....
Atoms are the smallest unit of matter....
Light is transmitted on Ether......
All were “settled science” at one point.
But livestock are incredibly good for the land and it's ecosystem.
The herds of bison created a topsoil layer that is anywhere from six to 14 feet deep, and its still there.
Long Pork may be a staple in the future...................
Exactly so...........................
Reducing newspapers will cut BS and allow the forests to thrive.
These must be the climate scientists with degrees in literature who wear Birkenstocks and man buns.
Let’s see.
MEAT and DAIRY are all KETO friendly
The crap they are pushing are heavy carbs and make people FAT
It sure looks like they want to have more overweight people by limiting the exact things that help people lose weight and not be Diabetic. Almost like they want to kill off a bunch of people to “Save the Planet”. But the left is always into killing off people. They want abortion, they want wars, they want to reduce the people on the planet.
Their motto for the campaign should be “Beat Meat!”
Don’t care what you say. You ain’t getting a peak at ...
Oh, never mind...
Our billionaire Stalinist betters will still Wagu
“Peak Meat” sounds like a low budget movie starring Ron Jeremy.
Artificial meat will eventually predominate, if only for the cost factor. Once the rest of the world gets used to having a perfect Filet Mignon replica for 35 cents, the real stuff will become a luxury item. The USA will be among the last countries to make the change, but it will come.
That’s how they got to where they were in the movie Soylent Green , the Global Warming Nuts took over ,LOL
