Yet another case to add to the file which shows that a good chunk of the environmental and globull warming movements are about something other, namely, control of your lives. After some strange quote from Jonathan Swift about cooking children, due to the famines during the 18th and 19th centuries….wait, weren’t they caused by a colder climate?????, we get
Three hundred years later a UN report has suggested that limiting the amount of meat we eat is the most important way that we can increase global food security (and reduce carbon emissions).
