  2. Butter bei die Fische:
    Planetary Health Diet - Das große Missverständnis

    Der eine Aspekt, der gern für die 'Planetary Health Diet' ins Feld geführt wird, ist ein Aspekt, den der dazugehörige Report _explizit_ nicht betrachtet hat: Es geht darin gar nicht um die Gesundheit unseres Planeten. 😲

  3. Si je te dis régime planétaire 🌍 et Eat-Lancet, ça te parle un peu, beaucoup… ou pas pantoute?

    On en jase pas mal ces jours-ci avec la mise à jour 2025 sortie le 2 octobre.

    Tu l’as lue, ou juste entendu passer?
    Pis surtout : t’en penses quoi, toi, de l’idée d’un modèle alimentaire « universel »… drivé par l’agro-industrie? 👀

  4. Hiring a PR firm can do a huge amount of damage to good things.
    "A leaked document shows that vested interests may have been behind a “mud-slinging” PR campaign to discredit a landmark environment study, according to an investigation."

    "“The industry doesn’t make investments like this whimsically,” she said. “They know that this affects the tenor of the conversation. It’s a really illustrative example of how #PR firms operate in the 21st century.”

    "The carbon opportunity cost of animal-sourced food production on land" #Hayek et al 2021
    When all animal pasture and crop land currently in use for animal agriculture are rewilded, the process removes a total of
    358 to 743 GtCO2 from the atmosphere by year 2050.

    -743 Gt CO2, that's the theoretical equivalent of 0.5°C. ^^

    The CO2 removal is based on the biomes originally covering the land nowadays in use for animal agriculture.

    Ecosystem soil and litter could remove an additional 225GtCO2, "but this estimate is highly uncertain".

    Albedo changes were not included in their modelling; but they say, regrowth of temperate forest systems increase temperature locally – but globally, they net cool despite albedo loss.

    "Carbon uptake saturates after around 25 years for tropical forests
    and around 30 years for temperate forests." Good to know. I had guesstimated this takes 60 years.

    From what I can see, they computed only the rewilding process, not the CO2-equivalents GHG emissions like CH4 and NO2.
    But reductions in those are maybe balanced by increased microbe activity via changes in hydrological cycle. So I won't bet on additional temperature decrease from them.

    My proposed #RCPcollapse scenario research has to include rewilding in all the settlements and agriculture land in the highly tech-dependent societies, and in cities in all societies.

    Also, outgassing from land and ocean once CO2 concentration drops reduces the effective atmospheric drawdown from 743Gt to 558Gt CO2.
    Still -0.4°C.

    -0.4°C within 30 years or so.... from the end to animal agriculture alone.ß!
    Shocking. But to remind myself: from 2005 to 2020, global °C rose by 0.4°C.

  6. Heard of EAT-Lancet?
    #EATLancet prescribes very low dairy, meat and fish, but not strictly vegetarian or vegan. Check it out, it might be something your steak-loving neighbor can adopt. eatforum.org/eat-lancet-commis

    #Rockström is in the commission, too and made sure that planetary boundaries are kept.

    New paper: Li et al 2024, "Reducing climate change impacts from the global food system through diet shifts" nature.com/articles/s41558-024

    "The present global annual dietary emissions would fall by 17% with the worldwide adoption of the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet, primarily attributed to shifts from red meat to legumes and nuts as principal protein sources. More than half (56.9%) of the global population, which is presently overconsuming, would save 32.4% of global emissions through diet shifts, offsetting the 15.4% increase in global emissions from presently underconsuming populations moving towards healthier diets."

  7. How do climate change, public health, and animal welfare interact in food system shifts?

    More than pleased to have worked with talented colleagues on just-published paper discussing how various shifts can affect One Health and (from my standpoint) specifically animal welfare.

  8. The Huge Climate Potential of Methane Reductions wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/hand UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2021 finds that greenhouse gases need to fall close to 50% by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5°C, but Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement are still insufficient.

    The reduction of methane emissions from the fossil fuel, waste and agriculture sectors could help close the emissions gap and reduce warming in the short term.

    To have any chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, the world has eight years to take an additional 28 gigatons of CO2 equivalent (GtCO2e) off annual emissions, over and above what is promised in the updated NDCs and other 2030 commitments.

    To put this number into perspective, carbon dioxide emissions alone are expected to reach 33 gigatons in 2021. When all other greenhouse gases are taken into account, annual emissions are close to 60 GtCO2e. So, to have a chance of reaching the 1.5°C target, we need to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions. For the 2°C target, the additional need is lower: a drop in annual emissions of 13 GtCO2e by 2030.
    wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/hand

    Included in this assessment is the assumption that humanity will increase their consumption of animal products (enteric fermentation + waste) over time.

    Imagine the GHG reductions that could be achieved if most of us chose to eat plant based or #EATLancet eatforum.org/eat-lancet-commis

    We have a boat - it is us, We, the People.

    When it comes to the #ClimateEmergency - It is not hopeless & we, the people are not helpless! If we take individual action now - without asking anyone! theguardian.com/commentisfree/

    IMO, it’s up to us – WE,THE PEOPLE, to save planet Earth by becoming #EcoConciousConsumers thinkhousehq.com/features/clim who actively mitigate global warming by our daily choices of: who we donate to, vote for, invest/divest/bank in; what we buy, eat, drive/pedal; to switch from gas to electric; to reduce, reuse, recycle; & consume less. news.climate.columbia.edu/2018

    In the film: “Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip” youtube.com/watch?v=VnyLIRCPaj tells us that “preventing run-away Global Warming is the single most important task in all of human history - and it is up to us to do it. If we don’t then everything else we have achieved in our lives will become meaningless”!

    The United nation says: “Everyone can help limit climate change. From the way we travel, to the electricity we use, the food we eat, and the things we buy, we can make a difference.” un.org/en/actnow/ten-actions

    Greta Thunberg says - “Politicians are not coming to the rescue of planet Earth” newstatesman.com/environment/2 & “Saving the world is voluntary…we need billions of #climate activists” theguardian.com/environment/20

    Robert Reich @rbreich Says “A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive…” youtube.com/watch?v=Y_sjfchNsi But, these Oligarchs got rich by convincing us to buy products that we don’t actually need & that are harmful to our planet. So, stop buying those products!

    William Stanley Jevons said: “Value is created by the consumer, not the producer… the consumer is the ‘ultimate regulator of demand’” - theatlantic.com/business/archi So people - stop demanding!

    DR. SAILESH RAO position paper climatehealers.org/the-science says: “...animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change, responsible for at least 87% of annual GHGs.”

    Maybe we should believe them & #EatPlantbased or #EatVegan or #EATLancet!

    It's not just the fossil fuel industry driving the Methane crisis!

    What can we, the people individually do to reduce Methane emissions? methaneaction.org/declaration- says: ~30% of CH4 emissions come from Animal Agriculture (AAg) & could be virtually eliminated if we ate a basically plant-based diet!

    Cornell’s Bob Howarth says: “Reducing methane now can provide an instant way to slow global warming ...” news.cornell.edu/stories/2019/

    climatehealers.org/the-science says: “that the methane emissions from AAg alone cause more incremental global warming than the CO2 emissions from all FF sources combined.” & pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/345652 says livestock CH4 emissions are projected to grow another 30% by 2050 under current policies!

    So, #EatingVegan, #EatingPlantBased or #EATLancet may be the biggest thing individuals can do to reduce Methane emissions & improve their health eatforum.org/eat-lancet-commis

  16. CW: "A new study released Thursday warned that the planet has entered "a new chapter in the climate and ecological crisis," in which communities are forced to direct massive resources to responding to the escalating impacts of the climate emergency, taking focus away from efforts to slash fossil fuel emissions—causing what the report authors called a "doom loop" that will make avoiding the worst effects of planetary heating increasingly difficult." Researchers Warn of Climate 'Doom Loop' as Impacts Forestall Green Energy Transition

    @notwhatwethink

    It's interesting that researchers for this 'Doom Loop' completely ignore Animal Agriculture & the fact that it's elimination is can be achieved by most of us just choosing a different diet.

    IMHO the blindingly obvious truth is that earth cannot support 70B+ farmed animals & we can end Animal Ag by Eating Plant Based or Eating Vegan or choosing the EAT Lancet global diet!

    Being vegan is as good for humans’ health as it is for animal welfare. There is no nutritional need for humans to eat any animal product; all our dietary needs, even as infants and children, are best supplied by a meatless diet.. bing.com/search?q=Being+Vegan%
