Many imagine that a move towards more plant-based diets requires *more* cropland.

This is not true.

We would free up land used to grow crops for animal feed.

Just half of the world's cereals go directly to food for humans.

[Hannah Ritchie @_HannahRitchie]

When it comes to the carbon footprint of our diet, we focus on things like transport and packaging (the brown bit).

But most of the emissions come from land use and activities on the farm (green bit).

This is why *what* you eat matters much more.

But do we even really know the environmental impact of those 👻 PROCESSED 👻 plant-based foods?

Uh, yeah, we kinda do.

Native are grasslands are critical, and tree-planting shouldn't happen there. But again, we have cattle ranching interests overstating their role in preserving grasslands when they're largely complicit in degrading them, nationally and globally. 🧵 1/ https://t.co/vVWKDeuZv1

Tackling food-related emissions in government purchasing has become an increasingly popular policy strategy, which we may now see enacted at the federal level, as @deenashanker reports: https://t.co/Xc8JgAAfI9

“The report alleges the nation’s largest meatpackers and industry trade groups repeatedly misled the public when they warned that a slowdown in their operations posed an imminent threat to the nation’s meat supplies. But ‘these fears were baseless’” https://t.co/bwPQEcZPdj

Whoever thinks global warming capped at 1.5C or 2C is "saving" the planet hasn't really thought about what the word actually means.

[Ani Dasgupta @AniDasguptaWRI]

We must limit warming to 1.5°C to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. The difference between 1.5° and 2° or even 3° is staggering.

Every fraction of a degree matters. We have the solutions to narrow the gap so that people and nature can thrive: https://t.co/ScHXYRZ6Gc

TL;DR what are we pretending we don't know and how can we ensure our global leadership takes action?

“Unchecked carbon pollution is forcing the world’s most vulnerable on a frog march to destruction — now,” Mr. Guterres said. “This abdication of leadership is criminal.”https://t.co/aaMUKK1gEw

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

The uncanny confluence of Putin's invasion and the IPCC report is a stark reminder: fossil fuel powers the worst crises facing our planet.
If we use this moment to get off oil and gas, we have a fighting chance as a planet.
