Bud, if you’re too lazy to google “how bad is beef for the climate,” I have nothing to say. I’m not your teacher and your head is buried incredibly deep in the sand, as you clearly don’t care about data or facts.
The second fluff piece you’ve linked seems to hinge entirely on Xu 2021, but that study itself depends on poor nemechek 2018 with which I take umbrage. their methodology is flawed.
your third link references multiple sources that may be reputable but I don’t believe that you have actually read that page or you understand any of those references. if you have and you can explain how they are relevant in any way to this discussion I’d love to hear it.
You asked me for evidence. I provided it. And yes, I read it. If you have an issue with a specific study, please explain why. Otherwise, you’re just doubling down on that head in the sand thing, as I predicted.
I would love to have a serious discussion, if you opt to do so.
You clearly suggested we should focus on changing other industries. Sorry, ig you must be talking about some even less relevant industry.
no, i’m talking about almost every other sector of emissions besides the food that people eat.
surely youre fucking with me at this point. Chemical, food, transport, other, commercial buildings? You don’t get how those are tied to animal ag?
I think you’re experiencing cognitive dissonance: The facts don’t seem to be lining up with your reality and you’re trying to make excuses.
You trying to imply I’m uneducated after saying factory farms feed cows grass is probably the richest interaction I’ve ever had on Lemmy
this isn’t a refutation. it’s an appeal to ridicule. if you have some facts, you should present them.

I don’t need to support your argument. you need to provide your own evidence.

In you defense, I was wrong earlier. I vastly underestimated the amount of deforestation attributed to animal ag

your first source flat-out contradicts the UN numbers I provided to you.
but they don’t show where they got their study.

your fourth link is paywalled. if you’ve read it surely you can provide a summary or a capture.
Sorry, against the rules to copy and paste articles. Use your own tools, bud.
