When Sandy hit in 2012 people up here couldn't get their homes raised right away in the aftermath because there are a limited amount of companies that raise homes professional and many of them were still in New Orleans cleaning up after Katrina. The recovery time in the US has been slow. I cannot fathom how long it will take for PR, especially since it doesn't appear right now they are getting the appropriate support from us. So we won't have to imagine for very long, DJT!

The US is a the biggest contributor to methane gas which is a byproduct of our obsession with cows so yeah , less meat and specificatlly cows would benefit the Earth greatly It's not that simple. The people now not eating meat will have to replace those calories, which will increase demand for other proteins. That increase in demand will cause other things to produce greenhouse emissions. It's not a simple equation. The real issue is total demand on industries that produce greenhouse emissions. Beef is the best meat so good luck getting people to stop eating it. Also, cows are amazingly cool.

What's the environmental impact of lab meat? Especially a kind that is designed to be optimally delicious? I'm sure that first generation will probably give us all kinds of cancer but I might roll the dice for super-Kobe pleasure steak.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Eh, it'd help. Cattle especially are a major contributor to greenhouse gases. There was an article I saw ages ago that argued the problem with the "no meat" argument is it doesn't offer an alternative. Like that food still needs to exist, so where does it come from. You can't just "Yeah -50% meat!" and go on your day, the food need still exists. So now what's the answer to cover the lost meat. Farms aren't great. We already are at the limits of sustainable farming. If we increase the needs on that end, we can very rapidly fall into an unsustainable loop and do even more damage to our planet. Farming itself is not great for soil/irrigation/longevity of a region, and you really can't do it everywhere. You also come into issues of industrialization. If our demand for agriculture suddenly skyrockets, we'll have to start expanding that agricultural need into poorer regions with far less care for regulation/proper procedure. ie we will need to get a lot more produce from South America. And you can bet your dollar they'll use strip farming to get the kind of product yields needed to cover the new offset, which'll do further damage to the environment. Then of course there is the everpresent issue of labor. While the meat industry is hosed, it's hosed in a very specific way, and hosed largely in it's approach to animals. One of the big problems with farming is the use of slave labor/near slave labor, especially in places like South America. There's been more then a few articles popping up of how the various new vegetarian/vegan crazes in the Western World have led to outright seizures of traditional farms by the cartels, as they steal peoples livelihoods/food to make easy legal bank off this stuff. If we do have any sort of real increase in farming, it's going to come at a human cost from the people already suffering the worst effects of global warming. The bigger issue isn't cattle, it's that we as a species have outgrown our planet and are too stupid to stop. Like to use the other two big nations that don't use so much meat as an example, both China and India are heading right towards megafucked territory. China had an industrial/farming boom and while it built it's farms sustainable, there is only so far you can stretch that, and they long sense passed it. They are basically stripfarming to try and meet demand for the people living in China, and it's eventually going to lead to major starvation/expansion as they realize they can't keep up with the demand. India never built it's farms in a sustainable way and they are right now in the present day starting to stop working at the efficiency they need, mixed with the issue they have near completely run out of groundwater because of their stripfarming.

If we don't raise meat for food... where does our food come from??? We should keep eating meat. I am very smart. feed people the food and water that the meat would otherwise eat, reduce greenhouse gases. https://gizmodo.com/do-cow-farts-actually-contribute-to-global-warming-1562144730 quote:In a 2006 United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization report, it claims that the livestock sector, most of which are cows, "generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent – 18 percent – than transport." According to a Danish study, the average cow produces enough methane per year to do the same greenhouse damage as four tons of carbon dioxide mdemone posted:I don't mean to be mean, but that is the dumbest motherfucking thing I've heard this week, and I teach physics to special-ed students in an inner-city high school. google sure is hard

I might be missing something, but how does reducing our consumption of animals (and thus reducing the amount we have to feed those animals) increase burden on our agricultural industry? The food we feed animals and the food we feed ourselves are far different sources of food. Animals largely eat filler stock we produce while flipping farms, it's disgusting, barely full of any sort of nutritional value, and couldn't sustain people at any real level. We also get a lot of animal feed/filler from regions that only provide filler style food due to regional weather variations. Large swathes of the Midwest actually don't produce "good" food, or food that's suitable for human consumption, but it works well enough if you are trying to fatten up animals for slaughter. If we were to switch from animal based sustenance those farms wouldn't be able to just suddenly switch to human quality food, they'd just have to go out of business because they wouldn't have a product to sell anymore. It's why ethanol is even a thing. You can't eat that corn, it's not digestible by anything. So it gets grown and thrown into the government subsidy pile so they can stay afloat and keep people employed/justify flipping farms.

People need to stop moving the goalposts. Hollismason claimed that if half the US stopped eating meat, we'd have this whole global warming thing solved. This is what's being called stupid. Calling that stupid doesn't mean you think meat isn't contributing to global warming.
