SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov 15 (Reuters) - On any morning at the COP27 climate conference, you can expect a gauntlet of anti-meat protesters wearing pig and cow costumes, holding banners decrying the carbon footprint of livestock, and chanting slogans like "Let's be vegan, let's be free."
Activist groups and corporate startups have descended on the two-week climate summit in Egypt to heap pressure on the hundreds of global policy makers there over the world's love affair with meat and its role in warming.
Their demands range from lowering meat consumption to policies as seemingly outlandish as transitioning to cell-based meat grown in steel vats, which could eliminate the need for feed crops, ranch land and slaughterhouses.
Cows, sheep, pigs and other livestock are responsible for about 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a peer-reviewed assessment led by researchers at the University of Illinois and published last year.
And researchers fear the impact may be greater, after recent efforts to measure emissions at individual U.S. farms - by, say, flying a methane-detecting plane over them – showed them churning out much more than estimated.
Realising they can no longer ignore the role of food production in warming, negotiators from nearly 200 countries at COP27 are holding discussions focused on it for the first time in the U.N. summit's nearly three-decade history.
Yet reducing meat and dairy output is not yet on the agenda for governments, many of which give billions of dollars to livestock farmers in subsidies. Instead, they are advancing policies to reduce the emissions that livestock make, including with feed additives that reduce the gas livestock emit, and cutting or capturing the methane wafting off manure heaps.
Activists aren't buying it.

You’ll have to pry my bacon from my cold dead hands!
Egypt is 90% Muslim, wearing that pig costume is dangerous
“…researchers fear the impact (of meat methane) may be greater…”
Does anybody besides those liberal “researchers” who make a living off this scam care?

Had a NY Strip steak last night.
It was delicious.
I’d park a food truck across the street serving double bacon cheeseburgers with fries and a coke for $10. And have someone out front offering free samples.
How many hundreds of private jets flew to the Climate Conference, inquiring minds want to know?
Good.
BS. Once the cameras quit clicking the pate and other delights will come out.
You want Soylent Green?
Cuz this is how you get Soylent Green!
Add the luxury hotel rooms, the bottled water, the gourmet food, & all the other perks. Where’s my taxpayer funded vacation???
BULL SHIITE!......................
I haven’t had one in a while. Medium to medium-rare for me…😛
How hard would it be to grow a week's beard, slip into an Egpytian dishdasha and headscarf, and point to Greenpeace and Soros-funded protestors and shout "They insulted the Prophet!" in Egyptian.
“Cows, sheep, pigs and other livestock are responsible for about 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions...”
Okay, but leftists are responsible for 100% of the complaining about greenhouse gas emissions. I know who I’d rather eliminate.
Coldest November in my lifetime here in the PNW. It hasn’t even been above freezing for two weeks. Give me some of that global warming now.
