Removing fossil fuels won't solve co2 problem. Agriculture, animal husbandry, building heating, industrial power all are major contributers.
It's lazy to think driving Tesla's will cure climate change. Our biggest problem is agriculture. We are cutting forest to grow crops and feed animals which emit methane .it's a triple whammy.
Losing a carbon sink, increasing co2 production in the supply chain and also increasing co2 in the value chain.
We need to eat and farm better

- staplers 7y agoWhens the last time you looked up real numbers? Transportation contributes vastly more than livestock to co2 release.
- bacr 7y agoYou have to look beyond CO2 emissions to assess climate change impact. The IPCC land use report from this past August does exactly this [1]. The associated reporting is also quite good [2]. The grandparent is right: cutting down forest to grow cattle feed is a triple whammy. 1. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/srccl/ https://www.ipcc.ch/report/srccl/ 2. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/08/how-think-about-dire-new-ipcc-climate-report/595705/ https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/08/how-thin...
