SCIENTISTS:- "YOUR CLIMATE ACTION GUIDE ON FOOD" The Report is based on the IPCC Scientists researches, Satellite data and Super Computers models. QUOTE from the UN IPCC Scientists Report... "Reducing the global average annual individual carbon footprint from 6.3 tons in 2020 to 2.1 tons in 2030, as recommended by experts, will no doubt involve changes to our food system and diet. Having greater awareness and making small changes will not only help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions and individual carbon footprint but will ALSO improve water, air quality, health, and save tonnes of money." $$$. It's a WIN WIN WIN solution. ...UNQUOTE. unfccc.int/news/we-need-to-talk-about-meat Fossil fuels are the major factor to Global Warning and we need to reduce the consumption ASAP. But there's another major factor that needs to be addressed and reduced as well!!l (Note Before: Fossil fuels are not the #1 cause of deforestation or manure runoffs pollution of our rivers, lakes and waterways causing DEAD ZONES for example the Gulf of Mexico.) The UN IPCC Scientists' research shows Animal Agriculture is also the #1 cause to AGW as per below: - The #1 cause of Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) GHG air pollution. Note, CH4 is 25 times more potent at trapping heat than CO2 and N20 is 290 times more damaging than CO2 (Which makes Animal Agriculture the #1 cause of CH4 and NO2 ghg pollutions, more than all mode of transports put together, ie cars, ships, planes etc). - The #1 cause of Deforestation, Soil degradation and Biodiversity lost/damage. We are using 70-80% of our land and water resources either to breed or to grow food for Animal Agriculture. - The #1 cause of animal manure runoffs into our rivers, lakes and waterways causing river pollution and Dead Zones. (For example The Gulf of Mexico is a Dead Zone now because of Animal Agriculture.) - The #1 cause of water shortages. Nestle is reporting, we won't have enough water to feed 50 billion cows in less than 30 years. It's, better we start to consume water directly. We can easily feed 10 billion humans in 2050. It's inevitable, Animal Agriculture is using 70-80% of land and water resources. Therefore, it's unsustainable. If we can feed 100 billion cows, goats, pigs etc. Why can't we feed 10 billion humans by 2030? - The #1 cause of the destruction of Coral Reefs due to trawling, using explosives and other damaging fishing methods. Phytoplankton generates 50% of Oxygen and have ability to absorb CO2. The Reefs are dying and cannot take another 1°C degree. If the Reefs die, the phytoplankton dies. - The #1 cause of Ocean Acidification globally. - The #1 cause of Pandemics and overuse of antibiotics causing antibiotics resistance/loss resulting antimicrobial infections. Listeria, COVID -19 latest. We have mutated antibiotics resistant Superbugs which cannot be treated with the existing antibiotics. We are losing antibiotics due to Animal Agriculture. - The #1 cause of most Cancers, Diabetes, Alzheimer, Cardiovascular Disease, High BP, Obesity, etc. (Fyi, 75% humans are Lactose Intolerant, which means humans are naturally allergic to Lactose i.e milk, cheese, butter, etc) The inequality and availability of nutritional food in less developed communities, are contributing the Health Crisis. We have Malnutrition related diseases for our children and future generations. We are subsidizing meat, cheese and dairy which is the only natural source of unhealthy trans-fat but we don't subsidize healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, it should be vice versa. This makes the unhealthy Carcinogenic foods cheaper and affordable. While making healthy foods unaffordable to poorer communities. The Global cost of health care for treating these nutritional caused diseases are in Trillions of dollars annually. This is driving high cost of living and making rich countries to become poorer. So, switching to more plant based diet is the most cost-effective and cheaper health care cost. Therefore, the best lifestyle option. The damage caused by Climate Change like storms, floods, draughts, crop loss, infrastructure damage. Undoubtedly will cost Billions of dollars. Driving up inflation and Countries into poverty and mass famines. This is just to name a few of the many more negative impacts of Animal Agriculture. We are subsidizing an Industry that causes so much damage and destruction to our environment. Not sure how we have come to this decision? Animal agriculture is not good for the Environment, Humans and Animals. No one profits from this Industry, not even the meat companies, Nobody wins, we will all eventually lose. The Animal Agriculture Industry is very harmful to our Environment. *** REPLACING BEEF PER MEAL WITH RICE, CORNS, POTATOES OR OTHER PLANT BASED FOOD , CAN REDUCE A PERSONS CARBON FOOTPRINT BY ALMOST HALF.*** We cannot wait for politicians or government policies. Due to politics, livelihoods, religion, etc issues. We can choose not to buy from irresponsible meat companies and choose more eco-friendly food. We as consumers can choose to reduce our carbon footprint by making more conscious and informed low carbon food choices. Consumerism is a very powerful tool that can change the global food system. It's Demand vs Supply. Let's use the our power, the People's Power. It's easy, add more plant based food ie fruits, vegetables, legumes, lentil, nuts, beans and seeds. Reduce food products with high carbon, water, land other resources intensive, ie Animal products which is meat, dairy, eggs, etc. WE CAN EASILY TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE AND REVERSE IT!!! Everyone is responsible for their carbon footprint and most of us like to reduce our CF. Please share the Science around in your socmeds, we will see the reduction in our circle. Let's make the right choices. Remember, our decisions must be based on Science only. (N.B: If we add another 1°C of heat, most crops like rice, wheat and other grains will be lost. We looking to reach it in another 10 years. Currently, we will be experiencing food prices going UP!!!). We should learn about sustainable Eco-friendly food choices and reduce resources inefficiencies ie water, land etc. *Financial Gains*: Trillions of Dollars we save money on health care, infrastructure/crop damage due Hurricane, floods, crop failure due to extreme draughts. It's the most Cost Effective and most sustainable option available. $$$ As per the IPCC Scientists #Switching to a more plant centric diet is The BIGGEST SINGLE INDIVIDUAL ACTION we can take to tackle Anthropogenic Global Warming. P/S: In case, you unfamiliar or in doubt on any of the #1 topics, feel free to check them with people around you, thank you 🙏 Also, feel free to comment, as I will only be happy to clear any doubts, its the least I can do for Mother Earth. #ClimateAciionNow #netzeronow #GoGreen #FoodSystemChangeNow #COP29
