@Bro-Drillard@sickburnbro@hydramacready@Marakus@LouisConde What's odd to me is how nobody pushes back against their assumptions on meat production and its environmental effects. Water usage claims are the biggest lie and simplest to dispute. There's published papers from the 90s that completely contradict them as well as testimony from various ranchers in arid areas. They're off by orders of magnitude and nobody calls them out. The water cycle exists, but we have to pretend otherwise. As if rain hitting a pasture somehow means that California's almonds won't survive. Boo hoo
@not_br549@sickburnbro@CatLord@Bro-Drillard@hydramacready@Marakus@LouisConde Probably true, but India's cows are regularly brought up as if they're biggest methane producer on earth. I understand the passion regarding environmentalism, I just want it to be focused the right direction. Micro plastics are a bigger concern than any of this stuff, and they've appeared basically everywhere on earth. We've got a good while until something figures out how to properly eat them, and then we have an even bigger concern. Plastic is gay. Bring back wood.
@sickburnbro@not_br549@CatLord@Bro-Drillard@hydramacready@Marakus@LouisConde The other thing environmentalists are deebly goncerned about is the methane gas that cows release. If this is that big if an issue, we could do methane scrubbing via hydroxyl–aka the '-OH'– in H2O or just collect and burn it in factory farms. Most organic waste releases methane. It isn't just from cows.
