If we were being rational, we'd end industrial beef agriculture and be well on our way to ending the aviation industry in 2023. We'd also develop an international treaty for no new fossil fuel projects, and we'd nationalize and ration fossil fuels to protect the working class.

A topic where I see one of the biggest gaps between public opinion & recommendations from scientists is palm oil 🌴🦧

"The percent of children claiming that hamburgers, hot dogs, and bacon come from plants ranged from 36% to 41%."
Have seen this when my 4 year old asks her friends who offer her snacks:

Climate sol'ns have health benefits now + carbon benefits later. Take gas stoves. I loved mine; but I swapped it out for an induction model. Why? It was polluting the air my family breathed with NO2, CO, formaldehyde & particulates...and producing carbon. oeconline.org/gas-stoves-are…

”Even if we stop all emissions from non-food sectors (energy and industry) today, food emissions alone would take us well beyond 1.5°C by 2100.”
But sure, let's just leave this to the consumers to take care of by "voting with their wallets"...

In my latest @OurWorldInData article I look at how much of our food is dependent on pollinators: ourworldindata.org/pollinato…

Emissions from food alone could use up all of our carbon budget for 1.5°C or 2°C.
But we have opportunities to avoid this.

The best take on this issue.
“Lowering meat consumption *should* be in the president’s climate agenda. In return, Americans would get more delicious plant-based foods and a more sustainable future.”

The National Restaurant Association (@WeRRestaurants) is killing their brand by lobbying against raising the minimum wage. As a restaurant owner, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I’ll distance myself from anything they are associated with in the future. – at Raleigh, NC
During the launch @JaneGoodallInst called for the end of factory farming:
"The inhumane crowded conditions not only cause intense suffering to sentient beings but enable the transfer of pathogens from animal to human, risking new zoonotic diseases"
