There is nothing the environmental Left won't demand you give up to save the environment. Your gas stove, your small business. Meat. Dairy.
They, of course, do not have to make sacrifices. Sacrifices are for the little people.
Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, humans are cooking themselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint https://t.co/N4R7YEPoGH 👇

The impact of food on greenhouse-gas (ghg) emissions can slip under the radar. In a survey in Britain last year, the share of respondents saying that “producing plants and meat on farms” was a “significant contributor” to climate change was the lowest among ten listed activities. Yet two papers published this year in Nature Food find that food, especially beef, creates more ghgs than previously thought. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce your carbon footprint.
In 2019 the un’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that the global food system was responsible for 21-37% of ghg emissions. This March researchers from the European Commission and the un’s Food and Agriculture Office released a study with a central estimate near the top of this range. It attributed 34% of ghgs produced in 2015 to food.
Anyone who argues food is a polluter is dangerous. They're saying they'd prefer to starve people to save the environment.

That's terrifying.
lol.

Eat tofu & bugs if you want.
I’ll be enjoying some juicy steak tonight. Appreciate the suggestion!
Yep.
Steak for dinner sounds like a plan.

We caught that too.
They keep trying to make veganism a thing.
Ain't happening.
Now research how many times the plants require a herbicide or insecticide to be sprayed before it’s harvested.

You'll eat poison and you'll like it. For Gaia.
“Carbon footprint” is not some metric by which human life is measured, but if you’re so concerned, why don’t you start by reducing yourselves to zero?

Because the rules don't apply to them.

We guarantee you this is delicious. And much more nutritious than tofu.
Thanks! This really helped me to menu-plan!

You produce a 100% more greenhouse gasses when you drive somewhere vs walking. How many Economist employees own a car?

Probably too many.
Please, by all that is holy, buy a new record.

It didn't work in 2021, why would they think it'd work now?
Protein -- like found in meat -- is vital for health (mental and physical), building muscle, skin integrity. No surprise the Left wants you weak, sick, and compliant.
If @algore and @JohnKerry quit flying all over the world whining about the weather, it would offset any carbon caused by beef.

Also....I eat whatever I want.🖕 https://t.co/s6rYqoUEah
And even then, we're not giving up meat.
The Climate Change cult wants to suck every bit of enjoyment out of life. 🖕 https://t.co/Fo1sUNis8z

Yep.
Without using the words “scientific consensus,” prove that humans are causing climate change. While you’re at it, prove that CO2 is bad for the planet. https://t.co/ARHkGyrCGB

This writer keeps asking the environmentalist Left to tell her what the acceptable temperature is for the planet.
They can't answer that question. But they'll tell you the temps are too 'extreme'.
As much as I’m for individual action, stats like this are misguided. When a short private jet ride emits as much as an average American family in A YEAR, it’s criminal and counterproductive to push the lower classes with such data. https://t.co/ywOGfpCQuV

The lower classes are always going to be punished for environmentalism.
That's the entire point.
