> If nothing changes, the food sector will soon account for almost half of the world’s total emissions budget. And this is absolutely as it should be! Half of our carbon budget to hit 1.5 C is absolutely right to spend on food production. We need food much more than we need anything else. We can do without internal combustion engines, without air travel, without everybody getting a new iPhone every few months, but we can't do without food. Having enough food to feed everyone a healthy and nutritious diet is a much better protection against civilisation collapse than making sure everybody has a car! The post tries to say that trying to meet the 1.5 C goal "without addressing animal agriculture would require other sectors to reduce emission beyond realistic levels" but those are weasel words! Climate change is caused by those, air quotes, "other sectors" - industry, energy production, transportation- burning fossil fuels and it is those "other sectors" burning fossil fuels that is keeping us from hitting the 1.5 C target. It is those, "other sectors" that need to get their house in order and reduce, no, minimise, their emissions. It's not everyone else who has to give up their food for the sake of BP, Google, Shell and Ford.
