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.

If students had been allowed to study history, they might think that their leaders are pushing them to accept the same working, dietary, and political conditions as medieval serfs (minus the frequent holidays and feast days).
The neofeudalist lords of course will live by none of these rules.
I remember reading about a multi-disciplinary consensus some time in the 19th century that the Earth was 100,000 years old. Biologists, geologists, astronomers were all coming up with the same numbers, so it had to be true, right?
So stupid.
When humans didn’t dominate, and there were millions upon millions of cattle like animals, what saved the planet then?
I hate these people beyond words. Take your little spoiled beeyotch Greta, and go away.

I hear that Lefties taste like Chicken . . .
“Scientists” who do not know forest thrive on CO2. We are living in the Orwell’s world of “1984”
“Peak Meat” sounds like something Ron Jeremy would have starred in back in the 70’s.

They want to feed small villages in Africa and Asia, with those newly-created fat people. Heh.
