In this Our Changing Climate video essay, I look at the validity of vegan and plant-based diets as a solution to climate change. I dive into the human and planetary toll of the meat industry, looking at the massive emissions toll of beef production as well as the exploitative conditions in meat processing plants. Ultimately, I consider whether veganism is an effective tool to dismantling the meat industry and mitigating climate change.

    If you can stop consuming animal products you should. It’s part of all the other solutions like renovations of our building and change our habit about transportation, etc

    Continuing to consume animal products with the science we have today is a choice anyone can do but we know the consequences. It’s not up to debate anymore even if it’s not popular.

    We can’t deny it anymore. Period.

      Science is crystal clear on the effect of production of meat on the climate. Not just about methane or co2 but also N2O. The Haber Bosch process is our doom.

      Frankly denying any of this today should be put on the “denial” pile and shouldn’t warrant too much investigation.
