Lmao this garbage is vegan extremist propaganda, I have been to dairy farms, I know people that own and work in dairy farms, this video just shows the worst cases of abuse and portrays it as normal. It doesn’t even follow basic reason, like why artificially inseminate all these cows when a bull works just fine? All these clips of people assaulting and dragging cows around portrayed as normal? Seriously? Even abatoirs have animal wellbeing officers these days
It’s specifically the beef industry, which is simultaneously a huge source of methane emissions, a huge land user for cattle ranching, worse for human health, and, coincidentally, a significant US agricultural output.
While beef is a big aspect of the overall agricultural industry, cattle feed requires roughly 3/4 of all US grown crops. Meaning with less beef consumption, the total US agricultural output would increase. But veggies aren’t subsidized to the same extent as beef and corporations value profit over everything.
“The seven regions’ combined beef cattle production accounted for 3.3 percent of all U.S. GHG emissions (By comparison, transportation and electricity generation together made up 56 percent of the total in 2016 and agriculture in general 9 percent)”
3.3% of total USA emissions? In what planet is less 3.3% huge? I would say that we need food over lots of others industries. Also, apparently if you feed cattle seaweed, it reduces emissions. At about 1/4 I have read between 1/5 to 1/3. Look it up, this article says 80%+ which seems too high.
Anyway, wht about rich people, Bill Gates, Bezos, movie stars and politicians using private jets everywhere? How come that never really gets touched on or heaviy pushed in the news media? Which clearly use at least about the same.or more per capita. What about something as wasteful as the cruise ship industry?
Traditional diesel-powered cruise ships pump out massive quantities of toxic emissions, experts say. While the entire shipping industry emits “2.9% of globalcarbon dioxide emissions,” cruise ships “produce more carbon dioxide annually on average than any other kind of ship due to their air conditioning, heated pools and other hotel amenities,” The Associated Press reported, citing a study from the European Federation for Transport and Environment.
It seems weird that people do not focus on this but on an actuap food source. We do not need cruise ships and crazy private jets more. Not to say that Big corps are not assholes, big pharma, big oil, big sugar, all are, among others.
Energy producers (one of the largest industries) of all kinds input propaganda into the world about their business - and their business is tied to climate research for public perception. Climate is definitely a manipulated message in one form or another
I believe they mean that there’s no industry about climatic research, they are research groups. Industry implies there’s something being produced around it.
And Climate research (like most research) is spread across the world at universities, government agency’s, as well as private think tanks. But it’s more telling that the poster was implying there is some shadowy cabal that is lying to us about climate change. The Climate Industry, “BIG GREEN” whose research is monolithic and never questioned.
Do you mean like companies selling solar, wind etc. energy and green solutions and so on? Because of course their stuff should also be taken with a grain of salt.
By denying, derailing, delaying, and deflecting meaningful discussions around the sector’s key issues, the agriculture industry is using the same tactics as the tobacco and fossil fuel lobbies.
And sugar. We fought these same battles with sugar and made giant steps but most of the damage that was done will continue plaguing the next couple of generations. Don’t let meat and dairy do the same to those generations.
