Drastic cuts in meat consumption worldwide could help fight climate change.(Vice).
Dramatic changes in diets around the world could help to ensure that global temperatures keep from rising above 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
If the world piled on the veggies and cut back on steaks and hamburgers, the UK-based think tank Chatham House said in a report this week, the world could generate a quarter of the remaining emission reductions needed to keep warming from rising above 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) compared to pre-Industrial Age levels, a threshold at which most scientists fear the worst impacts of climate change would take hold.
"Reducing meat consumption is a real win-win for health and for the climate," Laura Wellesley, one of the report's authors, said in a statement. "As governments look for strategies to close the Paris emissions gap quickly and cheaply, dietary change should be high on the list."
Hmmm......Seems my crystal ball is still working fine......unless i'm really good at guessing liberal brain storming. Read the full global warning 'geniuses' their plans here.
@Cheri_Kentucky You know cattle produces 51 % of the greenhouse gasses do we really need all that 'unhealthy' meat damaging our planet? :)
