Climate alarmists have a new Target

  For years we heard that Al Gore and climate alarmists were convinced man-made carbon dioxide was killing the planet.  That hasn't gone away, but the new focus is on methane gas.

The electric car as alternative to the gas powered car the climate alarmists have attacked has been less than successful.  People just aren't buying the inconvenient and expensive not so climate friendly electric cars that increases our dependence on China. And there is plenty of research to show electric cars are actually more harmful to the environment than the gas powered vehicles the climate alarmists intended to replace.

Two new targets in the newest climate alarmist emission are farm animals, especially cattle, and natural gas.

“We therefore need to significantly reduce our meat consumption, ideally to 20 kilograms or less annually,” he added. “The war in Ukraine and the resulting shortages in international markets for cereal grains also underline that less grain should be fed to animals in order to support food security.” This would mean a reduction consuming meat by 75%.

Bill Gates stated, "I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference.". And Mr Gates doesn't stop at beef.  One of Gates' investments include UPSIDE Foods, a California-based lab-grown meat company, recently announced that it received approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start commercial production and sales of its cultivated chicken.

Investigative journalist Seamus Bruner spoke about Bill Gates and the other climate alarmists cashing in on alternative Agriculture:  “First, it was patented seeds and patented fertilizers, and now they are patenting meat alternatives. Banning cattle would grant effective monopolies to the alternative protein companies and benefit investors such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and even BlackRock. Fake meats are about controlling the food market, not saving the planet."

Livestock accounts for 37% of all U.S. methane emissions, and cattle are responsible for much of that, producing 86.2% of that methane. About two-thirds of cow emissions come from burps, while the remaining one-third is from manure management.

We dedicate 77% of all agricultural land to meat and dairy production that produces 18% of the world’s calorie intake. 

Gas stoves and natural gas for that matter.

The climate connection to your stove

The gas line out the back of your stove is connected to a production and supply chain that leaks methane from start to finish.

The bottom line.

 Look for more regulations on gas and oil companies.  There will be more regulations on gas stoves.  Government funded schools and higher education will be pushing vegan lifestyles or lifestyles with less meat consumption and an emphasis less cooking food.
