Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Beef
This is becoming a troubling conversion that is popping up far to often with the Climate Change Numpties. Banning beef products to conquer the GHG emissions.
It's even one of the items listed in the 'Great Reset' manifesto. Limiting the beef we eat.
So far they have suffered a huge setback as almost all fast food chain restaurants failed miserably introducing their Plant Based Burgers. Hopefully that craze had died a swift death. :)

The question for Canadians is how much beef do people need to cut down on to make an impact on greenhouse gas emissions?
Researcher Jim Dyer set out to answer this question in a report last year for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The Cambridge, Ont.-based consultant has worked for the federal government in the past and studies the environmental impact of raising livestock.
The study, aimed at the livestock industry, modelled scenarios where Canadians tweaked their meat consumption without reducing their overall protein intake or cutting out any meat completely.
The modelling found that if red meat consumption dropped 25 per cent — in line with medical recommendations — and was one-quarter beef, three-quarters pork, Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock sector dropped 10.7 per cent. (The study assumed that any drop in red-meat consumption was replaced with chicken.)
"Given the very high GHG emission intensity of beef, it should not be surprising that this analysis found that diversifying Canadian protein intake away from beef to be such an attractive option for lowering the GHG emission budget of the Canadian agriculture sector," the report said.
