Teenage Climate Change Activist "I want you to panic"

[Darth Wedgius]

Funny thing is, beef agriculture does a lot more to the environment than consumer cars.

Yeah, apperently methane is a stronger greenhouse gas then carbon dioxcide. And we all know that America will NEVER give up their hamburgers.

Although, if that meatless patty Burger King is shopping around turns out to be legit...

I've heard nothing but good things about it, but only from a handful of sources. Most people I've talked to about it are at a loss as far as not being convinced, but aren't totally sure themselves for different reasons.

Given the fact that it's being confined to St. Louis before going nationwide likely explains the small coverage.

For reference to anyone uninformed:

Carl's Junior has a Beyond Famous burger I've been meaning to try, and Del Taco has a Beyond Taco (ditto). But it's been so long since I've had actual beef I don't know if I could say if it tastes like the real thing or not. I've had their "crumbles " (frozen ground beef...ish stuff) and it's OK but I've preferred Morningstar.

The "Impossible Burger" is supposed to be more meat-ish. I figure that technology will gradually improve until people eating real meat are like people listening to vinyl records, but I have no idea when.

Agriculture contributes more toward global warming than transportation, but that's all agriculture, not just meat industries, and I don't know that fake meat isn't more energy-intensive to create. But land is cleared for cattle grazing and that may lead to less update of CO2 by plants. And I'm sure that, complicated as all that is, the real situation is probably a lot more complicated than that.

Kind of like throwing away a functioning internal combustion car for an EV might be the best idea, given that making the EV takes energy too.

What we really need is legislation to make all this simpler.

Yeah well it's not like the common folk lobbied to stop the executives from fixing the problem.
