>It may be delicious
Not to me, but let's see.
>2 degrees carbon budget limit
Woo... 2 degrees. We can totally consider establishing settlement in Mars but God forbid there is 2 degree change in climate on earth. It will be uninhabitable. NOT.
>Agriculture consumes 80 percent of water in the United States.
Oh yeah, because we were otherwise going to drink the river... or maybe it disappears when it is used in agriculture. Except it doesn't. Water is the most recyclable resource there is.
>carbon output from food production has increased by 47 percent from 2000 to 2012 — that’s an increase of 150 million tons of carbon dioxide
Except carbon that is emitted to the atmosphere doesn't stay there. It's called carbon cycle. If we are producing more meat, we will also have to produce more food for the animals... which comes from plants... which take CO2 from the atmosphere to grow.
You're fooling nobody. Don't get into our kitchen.
- mirimir 10y agoThere are also carbon emissions from producing ammonia fertilizer.
- khattam 10y agoYes, in which hydrocarbons, mostly methane, which is a biproduct of fossil fuel production, (which either has to be used or released to the environment), is used for getting the Hydrogen. If it's used, CO2 is emitted, which is much better than releasing CH4 to the environment.
- mirimir 10y agoYes, methane leaks are a huge problem. But is it really accurate to consider methane etc used in ammonia production as waste?
