The world is already experiencing another and bigger crisis: "The 2006 report Livestock's Long Shadow, released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, states that "the livestock sector is a major stressor on many ecosystems and on the planet as a whole. Globally it is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity, and in developed and emerging countries it is perhaps the leading source of water pollution. Meat production is a major driver of climate change. A 2017 study published in the journal Carbon Balance and Management found animal agriculture's global methane emissions are 11% higher than previous estimates based on data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enviro...eat_production Cheers, T i m |

At what point do people start thinking of anything other than themselves, like many of those living more in harmony with the earth were doing all those years ago? 'We' can easily help out without having to protest, lobby governments or glue ourselves to the ground by just considering the impact of our actions and adjusting our lifestyles accordingly. Like recycling more, , traveling less (by plane / IC car), not wasting so much food or not eating as much meat or consuming animal based products. Cheers, T i m |

No harmony involved in watching your kids die in drought and famine. And they had a hell of a lot more kids in those days, essentially because a hell of a lot more of them died before they became adults and didn't live very long when adults either. |

Trouble with that line is that its even more true of clearing natural forests to grow plants and grain to eat. In fact we let cattle roam free in natural vegetation and eat the cattle and that ****s the environment far less. |

Please don't lower yourself to the level of *those* two trolls. Why couldn't it be perfectly reasonable that someone could just need the 'leg up' to a change in lifestyle that means their actions match their morals (something we had been doing slowly in any case, us not drinking cows milk for some 5 years previous, not eating much meat and preferring the likes of Quorn mince to the stuff full of blended eyeballs and aresoles)? The actual fact is that our daughter just gave us the opportunity to see the truth better for ourselves and *WE* decided to carry on with it from then on. And it was far from a hard sell, it was that she announced that she was going to *try* going vegan (from a vegi for a few years, thinking that was enough before realising the egg and dairy industry were as bad or worse) for one month (veganuary) and we *offered* to join her. It's no different to someone here putting someone else onto the benefits of a better diet or off some harmful prescription drug mix when it's better for them and others. That fact that anyone can't accept that as the truth says more about them than they realise. https://ibb.co/9Z1c6tZ Cheers, T i m |

Known to exist by the smell Every single scrap of unbiased unadjusted evidence proves beyond reasonable doubt that carbon dioxide has very little effect on the worlds climate and indeed tends to follow temperature, not lead it. Furthermore the effects of a couple of degrees rise and extra CO2 would be nothing but beneficial to the world -- Theres a mighty big difference between good, sound reasons and reasons that sound good.

Is there any reason why you don't promote methods of reducing a ruminant's methane production? Perhaps recommend a switch from beef to pork or chicken that doesn't have the same impact on the environment, or even the same food uptake for a 1kg of meat. Meat production is a major driver of climate change. A 2017 study published in the journal Carbon Balance and Management found animal agriculture's global methane emissions are 11% higher than previous estimates based on data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enviro...eat_production That doesn't mean the 2017 numbers are any more correct. Your article contradicts your claim by saying, "In the US, methane emissions associated with ruminant livestock are estimated to have declined by about 17 percent from 1980 through 2012" |

Aww, and 'sermon' .... bless. ;-) So, the words 'zoonotic pandemic', 'habitat destruction', 'wildlife species extinction', 'animal exploitation' and 'antibiotic resistance' and not worthy of consideration / discussion then (and with a very simple solution to most of them), over and above ALL the other unmarked and blatantly OT posts here (or just the ones you don't like to read at least)? If someone posts something re the potential damage to the ozone from aeroplanes, why wouldn't mentioning something that is suggested to cause even more damage to the same to put it into proportion. We can't easily halt air traffic but we can easily reduce the quantities of 'man made' methane production (that is 10x worse as a GWGG than CO2)[1]. Cheers, T i m [1] And whilst it's impact reduces relatively quickly compared with CO2, it still remains active in the atmosphere at lower concentrations for over 500 years and has a GWP of 28–36 over 100 years. |

Why don't you feel the need to comment of *any* of the other OT posts here? What is it about the idea of asking people to consider the consequences of their actions 'that way' (reduction in greenhouse gasses from live stock) that you find so objectionable? Is it you don't use air flight but do eat meat or some such? The subject was to do with 'Climate change' and 'a' solution being to do with the reduction in air travel. If we could also reduce the production of GWGG (even if you don't consider such an issue, many people (scientists) seem to) to the same or greater extent by doing 'something else', why wouldn't it be valid or why wouldn't people also consider it? A reduction of our consumption of animal flesh would be such a solution PLUS a benefit in many many other ways, including the risk of more zoonotic pandemics, heart / bowel disease, obesity, diabetes, global pollution, environmental / habitat destruction and sustainability. That's ignoring (as many choose to do) all the unnecessary animal suffering, death and exploitation. So, if you feel bad for being part of any of that and don't want to be reminded of it in a genuine discussion on the subject topic, feel free to skip over it. ;-) Cheers, T i m |

The world is already experiencing another and bigger crisis: I thought you were going to put OT in front of any of sermons from the keyboard? *I* do, but I'm guessing you are mistaking me for the OP of the thread (and there was me thinking you were a technical type). You can change the message title. (most usenet software will thread on the ID not the title) But why should I, why can't you simply not read (and especially reply to) it? Because it courtesy to do so. I didn't see the OP, and so the only post I initially saw was yours. Why don't you feel the need to comment of *any* of the other OT posts here? Probably because they're generally in a killfile. What is it about the idea of asking people to consider the consequences of their actions 'that way' (reduction in greenhouse gasses from live stock) that you find so objectionable? Is it you don't use air flight but do eat meat or some such? Once is fine, twice is perhaps ok, but the more you say the same twaddle mixed with a few lies your posts carry no weight. The subject was to do with 'Climate change' and 'a' solution being to do with the reduction in air travel. If we could also reduce the production of GWGG (even if you don't consider such an issue, many people (scientists) seem to) to the same or greater extent by doing 'something else', why wouldn't it be valid or why wouldn't people also consider it? Then why make the subject wander onto another area. A reduction of our consumption of animal flesh would be such a solution PLUS a benefit in many many other ways, including the risk of more zoonotic pandemics, heart / bowel disease, obesity, diabetes, global pollution, environmental / habitat destruction and sustainability. That's ignoring (as many choose to do) all the unnecessary animal suffering, death and exploitation. Your solution would be detrimental to people's health. So, if you feel bad for being part of any of that and don't want to be reminded of it in a genuine discussion on the subject topic, feel free to skip over it. ;-) Why do you believe anyone thinks it's 'bad' to have a natural balanced diet? Well, apart from the vegan fanatic. |
