In a sane world, this tweet would never have been written. In a slightly less sane world, it would have been taken down after being written. But, this is Cult of Climastrology World, where Warmists will bob their head in agreement, so…

More poor people are eating meat around the world. That means they will live longer, healthier lives, but it is bad news for the environmenthttps://t.co/CFpeTTFjC5 pic.twitter.com/W3NGBDxjPd

The article is actually from May 5th, but, they decided to repost it because someone is nuts. It’s also behind a paywall, so, make sure to watch the video. The Blaze notes

The tweet included a video discussing how an “increasing number of people in rich countries are vegan or vegetarian but in the rest of the world the trend is going the other way” while warning that “this is a giant problem for the environment.”

The video gave the reasoning that as more people in areas such as sub-Saharan Africa are able to buy meat and give up their vegetarian ways for a more nutrient-rich diet, global warming will speed up because increased livestock production will mean more greenhouse-gas emissions.

Slashdot has a couple of the further down paragraphs for the article, which also touches on China

The shift from pork to beef in the world’s most populous country is bad news for the environment. Because pigs require no pasture, and are efficient at converting feed into flesh, pork is among the greenest of meats. Cattle are usually much less efficient, although they can be farmed in different ways. And because cows are ruminants, they belch methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. A study of American farm data in 2014 estimated that, calorie for calorie, beef production requires three times as much animal feed as pork production and produces almost five times as much greenhouse gases. Other estimates suggest it uses two and a half times as much water…

Sub-Saharan Africans currently have tiny carbon footprints because they use so little energy — excluding South Africa, the entire continent produces about as much electricity as France. The armies of cattle, goats and sheep will raise Africans’ collective contribution to global climate change, though not to near Western or Chinese levels. People will probably become healthier, though. Many African children are stunted (notably small for their age) partly because they do not get enough micronutrients such as Vitamin A. Iron deficiency is startlingly common. In Senegal a health survey in 2017 found that 42% of young children and 14% of women are moderately or severely anaemic. Poor nutrition stunts brains as well as bodies. Animal products are excellent sources of essential vitamins and minerals. Studies in several developing countries have shown that giving milk to schoolchildren makes them taller. Recent research in rural western Kenya found that children who regularly ate eggs grew 5% faster than children who did not; cow’s milk had a smaller effect.

These people are deranged, and are more and more willing to show it.
