Yeah, NO: Twitter Unloads on Just Stop Oil's Roger Hallam Telling Everyone to Stop Eating Meat

The county of Norfolk in Britain, for those who are not familiar, lies on the east coast of England and is directly across from Amsterdam at the point where the English Channel joins the North Sea. So, as a coastal region, it is subject to flooding during storms. Just like Gulf Coast areas in the U.S., it is just a fact of life for the people and businesses in the area.

And that's exactly what has happened recently, as heavy storms caused flooding in many parts of the U.K., including Norfolk. Sadly, farmers were impacted, including one man who spoke to the BBC about his worries that he might not have enough grass for his beef cattle this summer.

ICYMI 📻| @BBCr4today spoke to mixed farmer Peter Gardiner this morning about the impact flooding has had on his farm and local rural community in Norfolk 👨‍🌾

It's a dire situation for farmers in the area, and the MP representing Norfolk has called emergency meetings to try to address the problem.

On the other hand, you have people like the co-founder of Just Stop Oil, Roger Hallam, who just steps into situations like these to ghoulishly gloat about how we're all doomed. (Apparently, petroleum is now to blame for rain. Because of course it is. We'll add that to the list.) Hallam seems to think the only solution here is to just stop eating meat before the collapse of society forces us to stop eating meat.

You either stop eating meat to stop society from collapsing; or you stop eating meat because society has collapsed: either way your days of eating meat are coming to an end. https://t.co/rtr0vzCAq1

Dude, we know the rain makes it difficult, but please go outside and touch some grass.

Ironically, Hallam posted this tweet either from a computer or a smartphone, neither of which would exist without petroleum and petroleum products. But we'll save that discussion for another time. For now, let's enjoy Twitter dragging Hallam for his ridiculous take on meat.
