It’s just nag nag nag from the Cult of Climastrology. Why can’t they just mind their own damned business? Why are they always attempting to force their beliefs on everyone else? It’s almost like this who thing is about authoritarianism
The food we eat and its impact on climate change
How we grow food, consume it and waste it may play a big role in whether the world can avert a climate catastrophe, environmentalists and climate change analysts say. One big obstacle to changing the most damaging practices is that many of them are in fact encouraged and financially incentivized by countries — including the U.S. — possibly pushing us faster toward a world that’s too dangerously warm.
“If we do everything right — if we reduce energy-related emissions [and] transportation-related emissions as much as we all need, and we don’t address emissions from agriculture, we are still not going to avoid a climate catastrophe,” said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs at the nonprofit Environmental Working Group.
Piss off, wanker.
The global food system — the growing, processing, transporting, distributing, consumption and disposal of food — makes up a third of greenhouse gas emissions every year. From cutting down trees for grazing cattle, to food waste in landfills, each stage of the food system creates greenhouse gases: a study published in March estimated that emissions from food production and waste alone could push global temperatures up by as much as 1.1 degrees Celsius (1.98 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century.
And we’re going to feed people with what, exactly?
But implementing new and climate-friendly practices may be costly and adversely affect yield, cutting into farmers’ bottom lines and making their crops or herds less attractive to investors and buyers. That reality, according to the World Economic Forum, has resulted in a cycle in the U.S. that rewards “the systems that are least regenerative, emit the most greenhouse gases, and result in the most land degradation.” These damaging systems, the World Economic Forum said, “are the most likely to have access to capital.”
Those would be rich folks flying into meetings on private jets and then having lavish meals, right?
Globally, leaders have agreed to dramatically decrease agriculture sector emissions. In 2021, 111 countries, making up 45% of global methane emissions, signed an agreement to reduce methane emissions 30% by 2030, and 145 countries signed on to reverse deforestation — which is mostly caused by cattle ranching — by 2030.
Do the peasant level Warmists realize that these leaders are signing said peasants up to be forced to practice this, while the leaders don’t themselves?
“When people think about climate the focus usually snaps to fossil fuels, renewable energy, and that makes sense because it’s the leading driver [of emissions], but food is this super underappreciated part of it. We eat three times a day, so it’s something that we can actually do something about,” said Richard Waite, senior research associate of the World Resources Institute’s food and climate programs.
Oh, F off. Just F right off.
