I’ve read in an Article that meat production causes a lot of co² emission. Now I was wondering if we stopped eating meat completely, would that be sufficient to get under the threshhold of emissions what the planet can process? What is that threshold? Where are we now? How much does meat add to this?

    When talking about GHG emissions, it’s a really bad idea to use % of total emissions as an indicator of impact.

    we have a tool for mitigating your concern: we rate greenhouse gasses by their co2-equivalence. the co2e of methane is 28.

      Absolutely brilliant. Not that it matters. We need to be carbon(equivalent) neutral by 2050. (well, earlier, really) and on that timescale, the gwp of methane actually is, as stated by @[email protected] 83/81.

      As you have not provided a source, i shan’t either.
