'First, declare a timeframe for peak livestock-ie, livestock production from each species would not continue to increase from this point forward.' In the letter, penned by Dr Helen Harwatt, a fellow at Harvard Law School, it states: 'To help reduce the risk of global temperature rising beyond 1♵☌ or 2☌, we call on high-income and middle-income countries to incorporate four measures into their revised commitments to meeting the Paris Agreement, from 2020 onwards. 'Livestock numbers need to peak very soon and thereafter decline substantially.' 'As a planet, we need to transition away from a dependence on livestock, just as we need to to transition away from fossil fuels, if we are to have any chance of hitting the goals of the Paris climate agreement. 'Ruminant meat is 10 to 100 times more damaging to the climate than plant-based food,' he told The Guardian. The letter has received the support of more than 50 leading academics around the world, including Professor Pete Smith, at the University of Aberdeen. They believe that within the next 10 years it will become essential for humanity to move away from eating animals and rely more on vegetarian alternatives.Īnimal agriculture is one of the fastest growing contributors to global warming due to two factors - the carbon dioxide they emit and the forests being destroyed to create space for expanding farms. The letter sets out a four-part plan, which scientists say will greatly help meet climate targets outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement. This would mean that, by the end of the incoming decade, the number of livestock around the world should have peaked and started to decline. In an open letter sent to the prestigious Lancet journal, a team of academics from around the world call on 'high and middle income countries' to hit 'peak meat' by 2030 as it is 'necessary' in order to halt the climate emergency. Last month, scientists warned humans needed to drastically reduce the amount of meat they consumed over the 10 years to prevent climate change spiralling out of control. What do you think? I can make it happen.'The carbohydrates that remain when proteins and fats have been extracted could replace everything from pasta flour to potato crisps.' You don’t have a nickname like Maria Bartiromo (“The Money Honey”) or Erin Burnett (“The Street Sweetie”). I have to pay for my Misty Floats just like everyone else. When you walk into a Dairy Queen, are you treated like royalty? It was on that trip and that plane ride we really hit it off. We’re both from the Midwest, so we spoke each other’s language. There was this long pause and then finally he said, ‘O.K.’ We ended up talking on the whole plane ride over, for about 12 hours. And then I found out he was going to China in September 2007, and I called him up and was so nervous and asked him if I could come. He likes it when you go to his annual meeting because that’s his big party every year, so I went to that. I got to be on Warren’s list by being a pain in the rear. I’m not his favorite! Carol Loomis at Fortune is his favorite. How do you become Warren Buffet’s favorite journalist?
