Talk about just anything from politics to science, society, the typical thai girl, etc., or just gossip about. It doesn't need anything to do with Korat, Isaan or Thailand at all.

Livestock is top climate killer

Ungelesener Beitragvon Rudi (†2019) » Do Jun 09, 2016 8:23 am

Livestock produces more greenhouse gases worldwide than transportation. A study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization FAO mainly fertilizer for the release of harmful gases is responsible.
Along with its energy-intensive production was responsible for 65% of man-made nitrogen oxides fertilizer. These carry 296 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide. "

Incidentally encounter 1.5 billion cattle and billions of other animals for fattening the most aggressive greenhouse gas methane; for their feeding one-third of the world grain harvest is used; for this crop as well, and for pastures rain forest is being cut, is fuel consumed, fertilizers and pesticides are manufactured energy-intensive.

Accordingly, a lesser meat consumption and the gradual reduction of dairy products an effective contribution to climate protection that everyone can afford.
