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.

D.C. should go first. Lead by example.

Personally, my choice is to eat meat and cut back on the leftist American enemies amongst us.

By taking my meat, they forfeit their right to be

“D.C. should go first. Lead by example.”

I concur with that. Let’s see that shining beacon of light on the Hill.

About damn time. They can start by pressuring him to say how much of the atmosphere is comprised of CO2 and what he would like to reduce it to.

Yeah. All these “outta my cold dead hands” types don’t seem to get it. There won’t be any meat on the shelves of stores and IF restaurants serve it, it’ll cost a fortune. Expect fast food to switch to soy patties

That was my warning when all the fake meat started coming, eventually they’ll serve it instead of meat without telling you.

I’m surrounded by beef cattle farmers here in Southern Missouri. I’m sure there will be more farmer to consumer sales bypassing the regulations.

Know that there are psychopaths behind the Biden Administration and telling it what to do. When he’s out of office, they’ll have another tool lined up.

They know that you’ll be spending less money on their entertainment and other trivial items, so they’re going to put their money in food markets and other essentials again. Inflation and higher prices will result. They also tend to add regulations to whatever they get into and spoil it a little more.

In sum, they’ll make life a little harder and lower standards of living again while sponsoring the media and misleading you on what happened.

I am already seeing direct sales from cattle ranchers to consumers in South East Texas. Farmers markets.

Can somebody please explain to me how cutting back on eating meat will, in ANY WAY, affect the earth’s climate?!?!?!?

They want more than to reduce your consumption of meat (their fear of losing control of important resources). They want you to spend more money on meat that they intend to profit from.

“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.“

THIS is the heart of EVERY SINGLE “problem” we have here in the USA.

"Someone has to put an end to this 'climate change' bull shit once and for all. Trump might have done it during his stolen second term."

No single magic man or small group is going to do that for us. Here's what it would take. A large part of our population needs to educate all young people about what is really going on. Many rich people (not all) are wanting to funnel more money to themselves while doing less work (higher prices, less production), so they'll try to pass more regulations against their competition (smaller farmers who care about their fellow Americans).

We can win in the education struggle against the manipulated public schools and universities, but we must stop being too lazy to spend a little of our time on it. Start talking to children and young people. Teach them about how people in big entertainment and big textiles (clothing fads) are robbing them. Teach them that it's cool to find alternative, low cost entertainment and clothing (individualism, real diversity).
