Over the past few decades, billionaire Bill Gates has invested heavily into various technologies associated with climate change mitigation.
Here are his thoughts on reducing the emissions from the meat industry, presented in an article in which he points out, “If cattle were a country, it would rank number three in the world in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.”
He claims that, currently, plant-based meat is far lesser recognized than, say, renewable energy and electric transportation as a tool to decarbonize our civilization, and I’m sure he’s correct.
What we have on our side here, however, is that products from companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat are virtually indistinguishable from burgers, sausage patties, etc. that come from slaughtered animals and the cruelty that factory farming represents.
Not sure about this.
A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.
This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.
The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%. To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.
Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.
This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.
If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.
What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy? Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?
I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
