Because livestock such as beef cattle releases a large amount of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, in the process of fattening, it is essential that we stop eating meat and dairy products to stop global warming. There is no time for enumeration and research results. So, the American monthly magazine Reason reported that it was an unexpected result when calculating what would happen if Americans actually stopped eating meat.

So, Ronald Bailey, a science correspondent for Reason, will actually try to calculate what will happen if Americans eating meat twice the world average turn to vegetarians all at once? Did.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, the annual consumption of meat per American in 2019 is estimated at 220 pounds (about 100 kg). Mr. Bailey multiplied the result of `` 100 kg per person '' by the `` amount of carbon dioxide emitted per 1 kg of meat '' published by the American Nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG) The result was 1.4 tons. Furthermore, this '1.4 tons per person' is only 8 dollars (about 860 yen) when converted into monetary value in the regional greenhouse gas initiative (PDF) that is being worked on in the United States.
A collaborative study between Robin White, who studies livestock studies at Virginia Tech, and Mary Beth Hall, a researcher from the American Agricultural Research Organization , said, “Animals were excluded from the US food production system. The study results show that the decrease in total greenhouse gas emissions is only 2.6%, which supports Bailey's claim.

Based on these results, Mr. Bailey said, 'Stopping eating meat has little effect on climate change,' and targeting only the eating habits will not save the planet. Shown how to see.
