Paradoxish posted:It's especially funny since we can already just grow meat and that's clearly the superior pie-in-the-sky technological wonder when compared to devoting huge quantities of energy and water to continually slaughtering animals en masse It still takes huge quantities of energy and water to grow "meat" in a lab. There is absolutely no bioreactor in the world more efficient than a beef cow, and it's energy input is the definition of widely available, and utilizes drier grass land unfit for agriculture

Lmao I was curious about what percentage of the total land area of the lower 48 US states was devoted to meat production and found this https://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2015/2015/meat_production.html quote:Meat production as it stands is incredibly taxing on the environment. 30 percent of the total land area of the world is used in pasture land and in the production of food for animals on a feedlot system.

The point is that we should stop eating beef.

yeah maybe if we institute unpopular dietary restrictions on ourselves and the public at large then we can squeeze out a little more industrial emissions

Stinky Wizzleteats posted:yeah maybe if we institute unpopular dietary restrictions on ourselves and the public at large then we can squeeze out a little more industrial emissions estimates of global emissions solely from food production range from ~25% - ~35%, though the higher number that I'm looking at right now includes emissions from non-food agriculture(i.e. cotton). Don't get me wrong I eat a lot of meat, but society should be looking at these unpopular dietary restrictions in addition to cutting industrial emissions because otherwise we won't be able to take obvious bait anymore

I assure you that as famine and poverty sweep the land this part of the problem will solve itself. I almost never eat meat anymore, can't afford it.

Given that Azerbaijan, the host for COP29, basically went "LOL no" about doing anything with fossil fuels and the US, France, etc. are talking from both sides of their mouths as to their 'desire' to actually do anything, I don't think any token gesture that is done will actually affect the end game given that the capitalist death drive to destroy the earth to get resources that will further destroy it isn't going to stop.

The US is a petrostate and we've clearly seen irt Ukraine/Russia that it's allies are willing to devastate their economies for the sake of American prestige. What more are they willing to give for the sake of American economic interests? lmao thinking about how Yellen just told off Japan for thinking about selling some of it's US bond holdings.

toggle posted:how have you been faring through all this? I personally am lucky enough to have a job that lets me stay indoors; it's punishingly hot when I go out, but those are times that I consciously decide to do that to myself, so I can't complain too much in that regard. It does make it more difficult/risky to commute via bicycle, as I try to do nowadays as often as I can our schools keep cancelling classes or declaring a shift to distance-learning. It's probably as bad as it was during late 2020/early 2021 in terms of how few people are attending classes face-to-face; not that I am complaining, making sure students don't die of heat stroke is more important our power grid is also feeling the strain from electrical consumption shooting way up as people try to stay cool our water table is also reaching critical levels of dryness the full effects on agriculture are not quite latent yet, but I expect that it's going to manifest later in the year, and especially when La Niña hits and the extremely dry ground then gets hit back-to-back with record pounding typhoons and torrential rains

https://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(15)00334-3/fulltext people have been looking into the problem of cattle methane for a long time! they've even worked out models of how you could adjust cattle feed to reduce emissions, and how much it would change their feed budget. This paper found that for a 20% increase in daily dietary cost you could get about a 20% drop in emissions. but no, don't spend more on feed that doesn't produce as much methane, and definitely don't change our dairy or meat consumption habits. clearly the right move is to spend fucktons of electricity and money to have an AI design an enzyme or pick a bacterial species to supplement their feed with.
