Destroying Food to Fight Climate Change is Madness — and a Conceit That Could Prove Fatal - The Stream
Destroying food to fight climate change is madness. There is a push to wean humans off red meat, particularly beef.

Let Them Eat Synthetic Beef
What is happening in Northern Ireland is part of a much larger push to wean humans off red meat, particularly beef, which humans consume to the tune of 350 millions tons each year.Many people, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, have argued nations have a responsibility to transition off beef for environmental reasons.
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef,” Gates remarked in an interview with MIT Technology Review last year. “You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time.”
Gates doesn’t really explain how this transition should occur, but we’re beginning to see.
While there’s no question that global temperatures are rising — 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit per decade, on average — people should find the efforts by central planners to curb climate change more alarming than rising temps.
Such policies have the earmarks of failed collectivist programs of the past, such as FDR’s “porcine slaughter of the innocents,” which saw millions of pigs and sows destroyed while people were going hungry — all in an attempt to keep prices high.

FDR’s mad program was child’s play, however, compared to Chairman Mao, who had plans to revolutionize China’s agricultural sector with his Great Leap Forward.
Things didn’t go as planned. It turned out food production was more complex than Mao anticipated. Via Britannica Online:
“The inefficiency of the communes and the large-scale diversion of farm labour into small-scale industry disrupted China’s agriculture seriously, and three consecutive years of natural calamities added to what quickly turned into a national disaster; in all, about 20 million people were estimated to have died of starvation between 1959 and 1962.”
Did you catch that? Twenty million people died under Mao’s collectivist effort.
Nor was this the first man-made famine created by socialists. In 1932 and 1933, millions of Ukraininans died in a famine engineered by the Soviet Union.

0.14 degrees over a decade...no wonder kids are learning the core curriculum math. LOLOL They think that is 14 degrees i'll bet you.
