Inaction will lead to climate change killing millions of humans. If someone won't consider eating vegetarian more often, switching to chicken is far better from an ethical standpoint than doing nothing.
- JamesBarney 7y agoPeople killed by climate change 250,000/year Assuming switching to chicken reduces carbon by 12%, assuming carbon responsible for 250,000 death then meat consumption is responsible 30,000 ppl/year Number of cows in u.s. 30,000,000 for 3% of global market US market responsible for 900 deaths / year 140 chickens / cow(calorie wise) estimated 20 years of life lost per death 18,000 QALY for 4.1 billion more chickens Rough estimate of 2.3 minutes of human life gained per chicken raised
