The natural world also involves species consuming their entire food supply and then going extinct. Or polluting their ecosystem until they are unable to survive.
I would hope we are intelligent enough to avoid that. Meat eating is contributing to both.
Not the first. Sounds like we're not consuming our entire food supply, but rather generating more as we need it.
And there's a lot of other things besides cow farts contributing to global warming, which can have a much bigger effect for much less effort than making the world vegetarian.
Clearing huge swaths of Brazilian rainforest, “the lungs of the planet”, to make way for cattle seems like a pretty significant contributing factor though, would you agree? Less demand for meat, less demand for eliminating large pieces of a rather important natural carbon sink.
