Today — May 28 — is National Hamburger Day, and it’s well justified. Most of us savor a burger off the grill, the kitchen skillet, or from one of the 80,000 burger restaurants in the U.S. with a market over $100 billion.
It’s hard to imagine America without the hamburger, but change is in the wind. Yes, a changing climate is changing the burger.
Let’s start with the main ingredient in the typical burger — beef. Unfortunately, like humans, the health of beef cattle are at increasing risks from higher temperatures and droughts.
Next comes the bun, which is typically made from wheat. Because of warming, wheat will actually expand production into new areas in the U.S. over the next 30 years, but then level off, only to face a severe global water shortage later in the century.
Consumers can also play a role in saving beef burgers by eating fewer of them. It’s better for our health and the climate. Beef generates about 50 times more greenhouse gas emissions than wheat to produce an ounce of protein. Consider a plant-based diet and treating beef as a delicacy and not a staple.
Let’s celebrate National Hamburger Day but realize that everything we eat is changing in subtle or profound ways, as our climate changes. And keeping our food supply affordable, plentiful, and diverse is going to require everyone. Can we use the common ground of food to work together? We all eat. This could be one step in the right direction to saving not only the hamburger but maybe something much greater — our future.

Maybe we will be able to glean some sustenance from eating dehydrated beetles and ants. With a little imagination they can be turned into something reminiscent of ground beef. I suspect the “Impossible” meat substitute may be of these origins.
“Consider a plant-based diet and treating beef as a delicacy and not a staple.”
And I say consider doing an anatomically impossible act on yourself.
Today’s mandatory Climate Change Fear Porn (CCFP). The trouble is, this time they are hitting really low. Even though it’s your total daily bull Obama, nows the time for war. They’re going after our burgers, folks. Lies against beef should be met by instand death, or worse.
lol
it is not getting warmer and I will eat what I want. If liberals want to live off leaves and go childless, good riddance to those genes!
The global elites will never give up meat as a dietary staple. But the sobs expect us to eat insects.
I just got a free Bon Appetit magazine subscription - in the index, there is one meat recipe, one seafood recipe and about 30 vegetarian recipes.
Contacting them next week to stick their woke ass magazine up their Bone Appetit ass.
Climate change is not a threat.
And they keep pushing, while in the Artic the ice and snow pack is at a 30 year high!
Climate change embodies the two opposites, cooling and warming, and as such is logically a null state. In this manner, the activists can use wiggle words aplenty and never have to actually stand for a standard of measurement by which theories can be tested. What is the test for "climate change?" That climate changes?
As with the constantly changing grift of "fossil" fuels, which petroleum as hydrocarbons are not, and as with the grift of changing definitions in pandemics -- plural -- and the grift involved in "gender" which has little to do with sex and much to do with language, climate change is intentionally "loose": such that anything can be floated as a "solution" to a "problem." As with all of these, follow the money. Follow the money. Follow the money.
The only thing that threatens the hamburger is the crazy Left with their fake Global Warming
Fake meat has been proven to be far less healthy than real meat.
This article is nothing more than a thinly veiled commentary on climate change and vegetarianism.
God didn’t give me canine teeth so I could eat plants, tofu and insects.
I think I’ll go to the grocery store and buy a 20 oz. delmonico......of course I’ll need to get a second loan on my house to pay for it.
The Climate BS onslaught is relentless now. These lying bastards seem unstoppable now. They are gong to inflict misery and economic ruin on us while giving the rats everything they have always wanted.
Seems our wannabe global feudal lords plan to “save” the Earth on the backs of the “peasants” (that would be us). I shall become alarmed at Global Warming (Climate Change on cold days) we the richest among start to act like they are... and abandon their beachfront mansions and park their private jets.
The Climate Change crowd intend to completely destroy the freedom and prosperity of the middle class. Marx hated the middle class (bourgeoisie) because we tend to be independent thus hard to rule! And they do plan to RULE, not govern by our consent.
“Globally, the wealthiest 10% are responsible for more than 50% of all carbon emissions.”
The liars are claiming that the earth will warm less then 1 degree in the coming 100 years... they are always putting off the date into the future. This will devastate the earth somehow yet the temp in a single day can go from -F to +100 and nothing happens but we switch on the a/c during the higher temps and turn on the heat when the temps cool.
A cow will be turned into a hamburger and grilled at high temps and will become tasty so I am all for higher temps.
Just win the MF midterms.
lol I welcome the earth warming 1 degree over a hundred years :)
Think of all the land in the north that could become farmland if it was just a little warmer.
Warm = Good
Cold = Bad
The earth has gone through many hot and cold cycles, and the cold were always bad, and the warm associated with vast diversity of life.
” If liberals want to live off leaves and go childless, good riddance to those genes!”
Exactly.
Live in the forests and worship your imaginary diety of the forest you clowns, but leave the rest of us sane people alone. But of course, these hypocrites wont do that. The only thing they know is to LECTURE and ANNOY the rest of us about their white guilt etc.
