Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, former Senator John Kerry, made a stunning revelation earlier this month when he spoke about the need to transform the way food is produced in order to lower emissions. The new crusade for climate activists is to reduce emissions that are a result of food production.
“A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33 percent of all the emissions of the world,” Kerry said, “depending a little bit on how you count it, but it’s anywhere from 26 to 33. And we can’t get to net zero, we don’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. So all of us understand here. The depths of this mission.”
First they came for fossil fuels and the energy sector, now they are coming for our sustenance. “The largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions is agriculture, responsible for around one quarter of emissions, closely followed by the energy sector, which includes emissions from coal, oil, natural gas and biofuels,” the IEA states.
Reductions in fertlizer, land use, and cows are a big push by the activists who seek to reduce emissions created by food production. One idea that has been put forth to reduce methane emissions caused by cows is to shift to eating bugs, instead. Another idea is to feed cows bugs to reduce fertilizer emissions generated by growing food for cows.
“And I refuse to call it climate change anymore,” Kerry went on. “It’s not change; it’s a crisis. We’re beyond the concept of ‘just change and we can manage the change.’ And without action, millions of lives and livelihoods are going to be at risk.
“15 million people are dying every single year around this planet as a consequence of greenhouse gas emissions,” Kerry continued. “In the atmosphere in the air, which travels around at drops in the form of pollution, and is warming the ocean at record rates changing the chemistry of the ocean itself.
