THE HYPOCRISY OF WORLD LEADERS REGARDING CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHY VEGANISM CAN HELP TO STOP THIS AVALANCHE AND BECOME OUR MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION AS INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH.
Today we are going through climate crises related to the deterioration of the planet caused by humans, such as floods and extreme rains, fires of dimensions and duration never seen before, large-scale melting of glaciers, mass extinction of species, etc., in addition to a pandemic that does not end, and it is unheard of that the most powerful leaders, their scientific advisers and other eminences that participate in the G7, G20, COP25 or the Paris Agreement summits, among others, do not give the issue any importance industry that emits MORE AMOUNT OF GREENHOUSE GASES into the atmosphere than all air and river land transport, as well as being an important source of water and soil contamination, erosion, deforestation and the origin of human diseases (flu swine, various types of SARS, bird flu, mad cow disease, etc.): THE MEAT INDUSTRY. What is happening? Why are plans being made to reduce the use of fossil fuels and promote renewable energy, but no one is thinking of intervening in this other equally serious problem? The damage of the meat industry to the planet is not a secret, nor is it speculation, it is a fact confirmed by science, but apparently everyone covers their eyes and ears before such evidence so as not to affect their finances, their comfortable style of life, their whims and personal tastes. They all appear before cameras very concerned and diligent to solve the biggest crisis facing humanity today, but behind the mask, they are a bunch of selfish hypocrites who are looking out for their own interests and those of the meat, dairy and dairy industries. eggs, among others, which apparently have a very powerful lobby in governments.
“Livestock uses 83% of all agricultural land in the world, but produces less than two-fifths of the protein we consume and less than one-fifth of the calories we consume. Farming animals for meat, dairy, and eggs is responsible for 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions, meaning the emissions produced by animal agriculture are more than the combined exhaust gases from the transportation industry . Switching to a plant-based diet would also allow us to feed everyone on the planet while also freeing up 75% of agricultural land, which is an area of land equivalent in size to all of Australia, China, the EU and the US. USA combined. Land that could then be reforested and restored, allowing us to sequester 16 years of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by 2050.”
The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, is the 26th United Nations conference on climate change. It is scheduled to be held in the city of Glasgow from October 31 to November 12, 2021 under the presidency of the United Kingdom. We will see if someone tells the truth
