Meat & fossil fuels: Climate crisis

🚨 World is on track for 2.7C 🚨

Up to 1 billion people could be driven to migrate to escape soaring global temperatures 🚨 2 billion people could experience average temperatures >29C by 2030, largely uncharted temperatures for humanity ✅ BUT urgent action to lower carbon emissions and keep global temperature rise to 1.5C would cut the number of people pushed outside the climate niche by 80%, to 400 million. But the world will not stay within 1.5 degrees unless it tackles livestock emissions.

With the richest 10% of the world causing about 50% of global emissions and a handful of fossil fuel and meat companies behind substantial amounts of these emissions, it's essential that rich countries take particular responsibility. The diet of the average Brit uses 4 times as much land as the average Thai, Indian or Nigerian citizen - due to the huge emissions/land impact of high meat diets.
