Funny thing, all that is needed to save the planet everytime is to give government more money.

I was thinking that the corona virus is Xi’s way of backing out of his commitment to buy US agriculture products. Complying with the climate hoax is a bonus.

Looking good

What will the use of the extensive solar and windmill farms do to take away land used for agriculture? This does not address the area for battery back-up and transmission lines. Also, it does not address the energy used to build and transport batteries, solar panels and windmills. With all those needed solar panels, what are they going to use to keep them clean? Maybe all those problems will be solved with a kiss from the Fairy Queen as those Environweenies sleep.

No... And this is a hill to die on...

Oh a report. Well then, what choice do we have.

The cheaper prices will be noticed by folks in the lower income brackets. Look for even more EBT purchases of beef & lamb products. At least they are not making the argument that animal husbandry displaces cropland. Some of these folks don’t understand the difference between pasture and farmland.

Just a small edit:

The world needs to eliminate, obliterate, end the climate change hoax whiners and most importantly the climate hoax financing the money men.

Wherever do these idiots get the idea that massive planting of the crops necessary to replace a diet that includes meat will have no or even less of an environmental impact?

[dfwgator]

You’re going to need a lot more arable land to grow all of those veggies.

Thank God for Global Warming!

Oh, “a report urges?” Well, I politely urge that same report to have intercourse with itself. However, we should really cut our bat and snake consumption by 100%, I’ll give it that.

[Georgia Girl 2]

You got that right! 😆

Termites produce more CO2 than all other living things, combined.

And, they produce a lot of methane, which is many times more potent of a greenhouse gas.

Let's start by limiting termites, n'est ce pas?

I think I'll make a nice beef stew today.

[Drango]

Nope...not gonna happen.

I don’t base my diet on woke beliefs.

Keto 24/7

I get my plant intake through meat.

IIRC from an Alf episode some decades back...

"Vegetables aren't food...food eats vegetables."

All right who is up to the challenge to see if we can eat a whole cow at one sitting ??

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Really jealous of you! ;)

[itsahoot]

We’re increasing meat. What we’re decreasing is bread and potatoes.

Smart choice, no matter how upset your Doc gets.

... would save the equivalent of seven million tonnes of CO2 from farms.

Plants NEED CO2.
