That’s probably got something to do with this. The major “tipping points” in the climate system are related, and apparently people (including so-called experts) don’t realise how severe the situation really is. If humans continue business-as-usual, then by 2050 at the latest, the world climate system will most likely be past the “point of no return” and limiting warming to 2°C over pre-industrial times will be impossible. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change and Amazon deforestation and must be addressed immediately.
