Editor,
Are you, too, fighting mad about Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris
climate accord? Then let’s fight back three times a day by adopting an
eco-friendly plant-based diet.
Yes, our diet is pivotal. A 2010 United Nations report blames animal
agriculture for 19% of greenhouse gas emissions, 38% of land use, and
70% of global freshwater consumption.
Carbon dioxide is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures
and by fossil fuels combustion to operate farm machinery, trucks,
factory farms, and slaughterhouses. The more damaging methane and
nitrous oxide are released from digestive tracts of cattle and from
animal waste cesspools, respectively.
In an environmentally sustainable world, meat and dairy products in our
diet must be replaced by vegetables, fruits, and grains, just as fossil
fuels are replaced by wind, solar, and other pollution-free energy
sources.
Each of us has the power to protest Trump’s failure to maintain
America’s leadership in moderating climate change, simply and
effectively, by what we choose at the grocery store.

IF “climate change environmentalism” were not a complete fraud, then all of the proponents should stop taking vacations, stop driving to entertainment venues of every kind and type, stop calling for others to drive to your plays, and shows, and art museums, and beaches, and restaurants, and movies, and parks and recreational facilities of all kinds. Unemployment would skyrocket, and along with it, misery, and poverty, but would anything be gained? Anything at all?
Of course not. Take Secretary of State John Kerry’s word for it.
John Kerry states U.S. can do nothing about climate change even if all Americans stop using all fossil fuels.
