A Hotter World is a Hungrier, Dirtier, More Violent World

Climate Change has been in the news lately, as we all know.  Different people have different views.  Some believe in it, and some don’t.  However, the scientific facts support the theory of Climate Change.  Not only that, but Climate Change has far reaching consequences which most people do not think about - a hotter world is a hungrier, dirtier, more violent world.        

                           

The main source of climate change is not the lack of sustainable energy, it is the meat and dairy based diet.  The massive amount of animal feces from raising animals for food is the largest source of airborne methane in the United States.  Methane traps heat in the atmosphere 100 times more effectively than carbon dioxide.  Forests, which have a cooling effect on the earth, are being cut down to provide grazing for cattle.         

                              

The meat and dairy based diet is not only the main cause of climate change, but also causes world hunger and starvation.  More than 80% of starving and hungry children live in countries where food is grown and exported to feed animals raised for food.  More than 45% of earth’s total land is devoted to raising animals for food.  3.5 billion more people could be fed by growing plants for human consumption on land currently used to grow crops for farmed animals.     

                                                                

And it is dirty!  The meat industry causes more water pollution in the United States than all other industries combined.  Animals raised for food produce 130 times more excrement than the entire human population, but without the sewage system!        

                                       

Animals raised for food are the number one cause of wildlife habitat loss, and species extinction. Wild animals are expected to lose 2/3 of their population by 2020.  The largest number of exploited, tortured, murdered individuals on earth today are animals: domestic or wild, in the air, on land, and in the water.  This injustice has a price, and the price we are paying is called: Climate Change.

We can stop Climate Change at our kitchen tables.  All of us can do our part in resolving this problem by our food choices, and make this a kinder world.
