Ahhh......most people expect the the govt to lead them on issues for the global good says Chatham house study.

The first global analysis of meat taxes done in 2016 found levies of 40% on beef, 20% on dairy products and 8.5% on chicken would save half a million lives a year and slash climate warming emissions. Proposals in Denmark suggested a tax of $2.70 per kilogram of meat.

Meat taxes are often seen as politically impossible but research by Chatham House in 2015 found they are far less unpalatable to consumers than governments think. It showed people expect governments to lead action on issues that are for the global good, but that awareness of the damage caused by the livestock industry is low. Using meat tax revenues to subsidise healthy foods is one idea touted to reduce opposition.

    Control control control. They have to get their looting fingers into everything. For the manipulating leftist's they are taking advantage of people's good will and laziness .The creation of adversaries by labeling gives these lemmings relief from conscious thought.
    This link and others may cause you to question the science channels paid mouth pieces who are rarely experts in the dogma they profess. http://bigthink.com/philip-perry/dark... and these most recent findings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QOP0....

    But You are on the right track oh wise old Owlsrayne. The climate will always be in a shifting or changing fashion, because the sun is a fluctuating electric body.
    If you study the furnace that is the Sun. It is electric and more important than any population of creatures could ever be. You are right about the poisonous pollution particularly prevalent in China.
    You will find climate and global temps rise and fall with the solar cycles. We are have entered the Grand Solar Minimum the sun has virtually gone to sleep regarding sunspots and the solar flares, Coronal Mass Ejections. This is happening at the same time our Magnetisphere has weakened.
    This weakening of our shield allows for more penetration of cosmic rays. Those rays increase cloud formation that results in an albido effect.

    Happy New Year.

    Maybe someone should educate those stupid leftists that they have no idea what they're talking about. What about the methane from the oceans, heat island effect from cities around the world, India's and China's polluting power plants. What do they eat? Will they they tolerate tax on their food. They, the leftist environmentalists seem to be illiterate or of very low intelligence if they believe everything they see and hear from the fascist media. Also, those scientists who do all those all those computer generated climate models to explain the planetary environment they forgot to add in Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The Science Channel had a program on this subject, the scientists theorize that it could affect the Earth and everything on it. Maybe, Dark Matter/Dark Energy could cause climate change? Let the Leftist's ponder that!

    Kissinger was deep into the one world order. He also, besides Soros, was one of the more frequent visitors to the Obama Oval Office! These guys are not about capitalism and our USA, they are about power and distant rulers. The UN is their tool to accomplish much of it.

    Kissinger sounded like he had shit in his mouth,
    hard to understand. He probably is one of the most deceitful mass murderers in history.

    This is exactly the UN at work, as it is part of UN Agenda 21, now called Agenda 2030. Get rid of meat comsumption, private property ownership, and capitalism, per their own statements. This is indeed scary, and the UN should be tossed from the US. In 1976, Kissinger stated that is they could control food, oil and banking, they could accomplish one world government within 2 years, but people were smarter then. A wise anthropology professor once said that all dietary bans were based on the fact that a countyr or countries could not equally provide banned food for all its citizens, no other reason. It is about control, and collectivism.

    Maybe we should start a campaign for awareness of the damage caused by the government industry.

    While watching the college bowl games, I chew on my elk jerky. Way better tasting, way better for me than Funyuns, Fritos, Doritos,Pringles, Cheetos, Wheat Thins, which, by not being "food," are absurdly expensive for what benefit you get from them........

    That would make my elk hunting trips seem more reasonable in cost.

    Laboratory grown meats will eventually become cost competitive with range-grown beef. At that point the cattle industry will focus on producing high quality "source" stock from much smaller herds. Artificially grown ground beef will be the first product, with some examples being test marketed now, but I don't see the possibility of manufactured articles that resemble familiar beef cuts anytime soon. It makes me wonder if those who are vegetarian because they're against killing animals will be able to eat the lab grown product with a clear conscience.

    This is absolutely scary. Processed foods and certain vegetables (nightshades) turn out to be at the heart of my health problems. Imagine your doctor telling you: Stop eating processed foods. Stick with Meat, Veggies. No potatoes, legume, tomatoes...

    Ok... Then they want to tax the meat to save the planet????

    It appears the leftists actually want to destroy all human life and leave the planet to the OTHER creatures. Their logical conclusion is that beavers building a Dam is okay, but humans... Not so much! I am at a loss...

    Sounds like testing of the waters for a new way for governments to get money.

    Well, they weren't eating GMO corn which is what is probably causing the flatulence of today's herds.
