Gases produced by livestock are a major factor in global warming, so should we change our eating habits?Extra atmospheric carbon can nourish forests, but there comes a point where they are overwhelmed
In fact, the report says areas near the equator may already be losing vegetation through heat stress. Soil is sometimes neglected as part of the climate system. But it's the second largest store of carbon after the oceans. The report says reducing and reversing soil damage provides immediate benefits to local communities. Better land management, including controlled grazing by animals and tree planting, can boost soil fertility, helping to reduce poverty and boost food security.
Says Who? someone with an agenda to promote that has nothing to do with global warming.
BBC
Solient Green is people
Screw the UN. I'll keep my beef, thank you very much.
BBCPolitics Yeah ? What about the exponential population growth in third world countries? Is anyone willing to discuss that ?
So Is population control but you don't see them recommending that do you.
Where is the land coming from to grow all these crops that will feed all the plant based dieters?
Never thought this would ever come out in mainstream media - still doesn’t clarify whole picture - driving an Electric car & taking short showers to save water doesn’t scratch the surface, Greenhouse gases from Meat & Diary is killing the planet!
BBCPolitics No way im no veggie and excuse to tax meat if u ask me NO WAY I want my meat
switching to imported avocado and nut based diet tomorrow... or have I misunderstood the problem? hmmm; best have an imported coffee to ponder this some more. BuyLocal
Where’s the conversation about population control? Oh, almost forgot, that’s not a vote winner.

So if we all turn veggie it will stop global warming🤔whatll we do with all the cattle Sheep chickens etc.Kill em & throw them out n use them for fuel to make room for more veg.Think overpopulation and the lack of natural resources like food power room on earth.will kill us first
BBCPolitics Dodgy science. The climate is driven by the sun, it's cyclical.
BBCPolitics Yeah. Enjoy the tofu burgers. Meanwhile India & Pakistan decide to blow each other to pieces & cause a nuclear winter for one & all. No more global warming! One problem solved. 😁😁😁😁
Whatever Lies lies lies
Nothing about population increase.
Yeah whatever 🙄
We don't have global warming!
Just what I had last night yum yum
BBCPolitics Agenda klaxon.
Nice
How will that stop the SUN DRIVEN climate from changing.
You're on your own.
Perhaps we could all consider whether we need a small serving or a large one as well...just saying...
So report we need to eat less meat and grow more vegetables. The rest of the world are increasing red meat consumption...ok so if we stop there will be no change to climate change. We change and keep getting worse storms, what do we eat once a storm destroys a full year crop?
good for them.
Britain’s taking the first step after Brexit. ‘More Turnip and kale soup anyone, the roasted sugar beet will be ready in five’.
Make plant based food that tastes good and I'll eat it. Otherwise i shall continue as the omnivore i naturally am.
What an absolute load of rubbish, try standing behind the arse end of a jet engine to see where the problems are, no one wants to talk about that though ClimateChange
Your diet, not theirs. The elites will still be dining at fine restaurants, paid for by you. It’s just your diet that’s the problem.
Who comes up with this crap one minute you are told yes meat is good for you then bad, now this, is the looney party taking over?
Let's all just die of starvation then seeing as everything is bad for us and apparently the environment.... Some of us have intolerances to certain foodstuffs so have to be careful what we eat.
The UN =under nourished 🥟🥦
The increasing population isn't helping.
BBCPolitics No thanks , won’t happen in the next 100 years and in that time people will find another way to pollute the planet. Trouble is you would need every country to follow the same rule book to make a drastic change, and since the world spins only around money it will never happen.
Gosh. Judging by the responses to this, people don’t like being informed.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂only an insane person would believe this shit
It's crap, mate.
But we still get to have bacon right?
BBCPolitics No it isn't - the only way to fight global warming would be to put out the sun.
BBCPolitics UN: The planet on which we all live is dying, and changing our diet could help to save it. Twitter: Whatever! I’m sticking with my diet of idiocy and ignorance!
Vegan-vegetarian-liberal BS.
Just imagine the size of the earths population without Genghis Khan, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot!
Whatever!
Vegans produce as much methane as cows stop the bullshit
A scientists view of Global warming.

BBCPolitics So we will have trouble feeding the world so we must all change to plant based ? That way we can keep building the world population exponentially ? Could just control ourselves instead of course ! Why not replace yourself but no more ? It's pop growth that's the issue LONG TERM
Yeah we've been telling you for ages
Fake news.
BBCPolitics UN Agenda 2030
BBCPolitics Bull more toff nanny state.
Surely this is not news! Let s start by closing fast food/meat industries for the good of all people and animals! That would bring a huge shift to the global warming crisis. Then teach people that meat is not the only and best source of proteins!
BBCPolitics Sugar’s bad for you; red meat’s bad for you, alcohol’s bad for you, dairy’s bad for you, soft drinks are bad for you, spicy food’s bad for you, bread’s bad for you. I’m glad I’m from the last generation who can enjoy their food. I feel so sorry for the next generations.
BBCPolitics Oh for god’s sake. Don’t enjoy nice meals, don’t use cars, don’t travel by planes, don’t use ACs. Basically turn into a sad piece of matter, working all the time, while industries continue burning tonnes of coal and emitting fumes 🙄
Too many people having too many children.
‘Climate change’....invented by the ‘powers that be’ to extract more tax from big business.
BBCPolitics Fake news 😴
Strangely enough most people are eating plant based foods, have you not seen lettuce,carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, swedes, rice,beans,peas, all fruits,. Need I go on?
Because of this DRIVEL I will now eat MORE meat🥩 🥩🥩🥩mmmmmmm lovely juicy steak 😀😝
BBCPolitics When all your 'talent', 'propoganda-teleprompter readers' and other employees have converted to tofu-eating and cabbage munching, feel free to come back and preach at us. Until then, I'm off for a bacon sarnie.
BBCPolitics BBCRealityCheck
All this hormone abuse sends them insane!
Stand by for food taxes.....
Tbh livestock accounts for less than 2% of green house gas where as humans account for 98%, I therfore conclude vegans and vegetarians are more of a problem than animals
Mind control.
I'm pretty sure we need to deal with fossil fuels first
The only person who knows what's best for me is.... me! And my budget also has a say as well.
Let us control what you eat to ‘fight’ a non-existent problem? Ahuh. Sure. Good luck with that.
So we start eating more vegetables. Which in turn means we need more land to grow them on. Which in turn means we plough that land. Which in turn releases the harmful gas. Which in turn contributes to global warming. Makes perfect sense 🙄
What a load of bollocks....if that was the case why are we all still alive and kicking...? man has been eating meat for thousands of years, it's about time everybody woke up to all this propaganda and scarmongary.
'If land is used more effectively, it can store more of the carbon emitted by humans.' Instead the UN could tell countries to stop producing carbon...
Bollocks
There’s too many people. Either need a massive disease outbreak or a couple of massive wars. Need to slash the global population in half
Absolute eyewash. Why on earth do people go along with this nonsense? The planet's been warming and cooling for the last 4.5bn years - climate change is nothing new.
Will only work if the areas cultivated remain the same and more land isn't obtained by destroying the natural habitat.
Let’s all switch to completely manufactured foods. Foods that contain more than 20 artificial products, like Impossible Burgers. Then we can kill off ourselves and have fewer humans and reduce human impact on everything.
Sesame bun hold the burger, large french fries and a diet coke then. Make the difference at McDonalds.
And I bet they all used aeroplanes to get to Geneva. That helped the environment
These people are nuts. Only way to stop climate change is to stop solar evolution that drives our solar system. Not yet possible. But nuts try and use climate change to drive own agendas.
UN showing once again its unfit for purpose and run by loonatics.
Hell no
Why not just have a cull of parts of the human race. Less food demand then. Let’s start with the UK Parliament and the BBC
What would be vital, would be for the largest polluting nations to actually care 😂 This childlike naivety being pushed to us is ridiculous. Our wee island cannot reverse the damage continuously being done by any number of the world's largest countries. Realism
Keep churning out the social manipulation stories now that most people have been indoctrinated into the 'climate emergency' Just like every other scam, create the feasibility then fleece the target.
Control the food control the people. Nice try globalists
Let's fight it the same way we fought global warming in the 18th century. After all current warming is no faster.
Farming also releases co2 from the ground when the soil gets turned why is no one mentioning this.?
Tell me something I didn't know. I certainly don't miss meat in any way.
Please be aware those UN scientists eg doug_parr are part of the vegan police! This report is nonsense. overpopulation is causing the problem Less people= less cows & crops Less people=less cars & planes Wonder why none of them push population freeze? Hmmmmm!
Yes stop eating foods promoted by vegans that are causing major ecological damage, destroying communities and even removing people's ability to afford food in the area they are grown.
I think, based on the report, much of the problem comes from poor decisions made by the food industry in creating their crops & animal stock than the actual meat that is eaten. For years, the West has been guilty of poor planning & treatment of its food cycle.
Eat food local, no air miles that’ll help the environment 😉
The vegan wars are going to be short, and pale.
Just look at that image you chose to use - how processed and manufactured is that 'burger'. Years from now people will look back and realise how much they've been conned by this great idea. What manure will fertilise the barren earth to produce the veg? Mung beans? Soya?
As well as this, I'm.........
Finally time to unfollow bbc they've just become the CNN of the uk
Its not the diet of the people but the number of people. If we keep pumping out mouths to feed at an exponential rate it wont matter if we eat bugs and photosynthesise for ourselves the planet will be a shitty dust bowl full of humans.
How about no
Is that a play doh burger bun?
Are we going to eat giant mushrooms to block the sun? That's the big yellow thing in the sky causing global warming.
Utter bollocks
Will your Tory masters shift many more millions onto foodbanks? The alleged 'choice' would then be taken out of our hands, surely?
And improve fertility. Read more in myfertilityguide
no, how about telling these massive corporations that produce so much of our co2 emissions and other forms of pollution to move to a more sustainable production
