I don't hear anyone saying we should ban meat or get rid of all beef farming
If you don't think it is the right thing to do why should you do it.I'm going to continue eating meat and woe be to he who tries to prevent me!
I'll join the green brigade when Russia and China get their "green" act together (. . . and that won't happen in anybody's lifetime here) and when cloth nappies are back in general use again in Ireland (and that won't happen in the lifetime of two generations forward).
Sure it's only your children and grandchildren that will suffer the consequences so crack on...I'm going to continue eating meat and woe be to he who tries to prevent me!
You mean when China stops making the stuff we consume?I'll join the green brigade when Russia and China get their "green" act together (. . . and that won't happen in anybody's lifetime here)
Why the nappies?and when cloth nappies are back in general use again in Ireland (and that won't happen in the lifetime of two generations forward).
Miniscule. And the stats above probably aren't directly applicable to Irish meat.What percentage of global emissions does Irish agriculture account for ?
When I drive across the Dublin and Wicklow mountains it's an ecological wasteland. It's appalling and tragic and shows what a complete lie it is that Framers are some sort of custodians of the natural world.However, the use of land in Ireland for meat, particularly sheep farming have devastated Irish biodiversity.

People think that, until they realise what total ecological disaster zones they are.I think they are quite gorgeous, the Dublin and Wicklow mountains.
As @cremeegg said, think about what they would be like with trees and shrubs etc.I think they are quite gorgeous, the Dublin and Wicklow mountains.
I left school in 1990 and the science was settled even then. It requires the application of superhuman levels of wilful ignorance for any person of even a moderate level of intelligence to reject the fact that human activity is changing the climate in a way that makes the areas of the planet which are currently suitable for human habitation less suitable for human habitation."I'll get my act together eco-wise when others get their act together" is the default excuse these days.
10 years ago, it was the science is dubious or something.
The truth is that collectively we are not doing enough.
The "woe be he" attitude is a bit sad to be honest.

They should be covered in natural forest. Because sheep eat any sapling, the forest has disappeared, together with much of the wildlife the forests would support.
As little as 50 years ago we (I can only speak for Ireland but probably in most countries) ate a lot less meat. Now the mere suggestion of reducing your meat intake has people up in arms in outrage.
