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?

    it would free up land for reforestation.

    there is no reason to believe the land would be reforested instead of being further developed.

      Lol, do you realize how much land that is? We wouldn’t have the resources to develop it, plus most of it is remote.

      Also, even if we do develop it, that is a completely different story than using it to feed animals to eat them. It produces a different value to society with different GHG amounts and kinds.
