"The UN says to reduce meat consumption to curb global warming."
I believe that humans should reduce meat consumption in order to prevent global warming and to improve their own health.
Article: UN says eat less meat to curb global warming
Stanza: The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are generated during the production of animal feeds, for example, while ruminants, particularly cows, emit methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than carbon dioxide.The agency has also warned that meat consumption is set to double by the middle century. (lines 17-21)
This particular stanza contributes an important piece of not only information but also advice to all of us. As we all know, everyone likes meat and consume meat every week. Meat consumption is increasing ever week. Juliette Jowet, the author of this article is a climate expert and an environment editor. I will use her as my reference in order to support my claim. She strongly recommends for a radical shift in diet. As an expert in climate, she can show the drastic effects on humans and its effect on food.
This article came out on The Observer on September 7 2008. This particular stanza caught my attention because it has the main arguments that act as a defense for my argument. Her purpose of writing this article is intended for readers such as us to catch attention and to be aware of where our health is heading towards. The author is considered about health concerns and the impact of meat consumption on the environment. As she has mentioned, meat production causes an increase in a fifth global greenhouse gas emission. This will cause more global warming which will make the environment easily prone to disasters. If humans keep up the current pace of the percentage of meat they consume every week, Jowet claims that it is possible that it is set to double by the middle century. Therefore, consumers must impose limits on their diet and go for a healthier and better life-style.
I am basically not telling people to sharply decrease meat consumption but rather decrease it little by little every week. Cows can be useful in other agricultural and economical ways. For instance, cow milk is necessary because it provides nutritions and vitamin D that are essential for human health and growth. Cow dung is useful for growth of plants. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain cow population steady not only for its natural purposes but also for the future generation. If cow consumption is not controlled, there may be a time when cows will be extinct along with the disasters the next generation will have to face altogether.
