Experts say Americans WILL have to cut back on meat for the US to meet Biden's climate change goal as president faces pressure to come clean on how he actually plans to slash greenhouse emissions

Americans will have no choice but to reduce meat consumption if President Joe Biden is going to slash greenhouse gas emissions by half in the next 10 years, experts say - even if the president is mum so far on how he'll actually achieve that goal.

Biden hasn't laid out a plan beyond the big number: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 52 percent from their 2005 levels by 2030.

To do that, experts say meat will have to be a target because of the greenhouse gases emitted in producing and raising beef - especially methane.

Biden is a brain diseased clown who only got a vote lead after election day, he won’t be taking our beef.

The first thing they should so is stop allowing food stamps purchasers to buy the good steaks or any other meat except hot dogs.

Looks like they did. From the source article:

“Brent Kim, a Maryland-based expert at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, which researches food and climate issues, told DailyMail.com that it was clear, based on evidence, that Americans would have to reduce their meat and dairy intake if the US is to deal with climate change.”

Is this administration still hiding behind barricades and a razor wire fence with National Guard patrols?

“A cattle pandemic that will result in the massive killing of herds.”

In the 1930’s when people were literally starving, the government slaughtered and buried millions of meat animals in an effort to drive up prices. They burned thousands of tons of grain crops in an effort to drive up prices. All this in an effort to reverse deflation. Deflation is bad for business, but great for consumers. We can see that in everything the government has done and will do, their efforts are not for the betterment of citizens. Let’s face it, despite the fact we elect people to represent “us” they really only represent themselves. We The People have no one in Washington looking after “us.” The only thing on their mind is lining their pockets and getting reelected so they can continue to line their pockets.

The proliferation of steakhouses and other restaurants serving red meat would seem to indicate otherwise.

Meanwhile, china, a manufacturing superpower and soon to be the top economic power, is considered a "developing nation" and not subject to these baloney rules, not that they would cut their pollution even if they were subject to them.

They better not try to steal my steaks.

You will be able to eat all the meat you can afford as the cost will increase several times.

Unless you have your own animals, but I suspect they will hit there too. Somehow.

Exhalations of CO2 by conservatives will be banned under penalty of law ... severe penalty.

I wouldn’t get too concerned. The sheep that are wearing masks all the time will dutifully cut back and leave plenty for the rest.
