As negotiations get underway at COP28, we compiled a list of the leading research documenting the connection between meat and greenhouse gas emissions.
you misunderstand, what I’m saying is I think that it’s a wasted effort to split your concentration the way it is being done, the agricultural industry is going to be one of the most resistant changes out there, the other Industries such as manufacturing and oil, you have your lesser groups that are not going to be impacted so it’s going to be fairly easy to gain support for those groups, however with the agriculture industry there is a vast more people that are going to be out to disregard the entire study because they won’t want to change their lifestyle. You can have all the statistics in the world however at the end of the day those deciding actors are generally decided by the general public who isn’t going to bother looking at complicated statistics. So therefore it would be a better move to go towards the path of least resistance which is going to be the other top emitters. My opinion is that if reducing the top three emitters somehow makes it so you don’t hit your climate goal, the climate goal isn’t going to be feasible to hit in the first place.
This isn’t me saying that it shouldn’t happen I’m just saying that the changes posted won’t happen all at once and likely won’t happen at all if too many Focus points are attempted at once.
I don’t think the goal is feasible, but I would love to be proven wrong
There already is momentum in the right direction in many countries such as Germany. I don’t think it’s a hopeless fight at all
In 2011, Germans ate 138 pounds of meat each year. Today, it’s 121 pounds — a 12.3 percent decline. And much of that decline took place in the last few years, a time period when grocery sales of plant-based food nearly doubled.
