Elon Musk and Joe Rogan discussed animal agriculture in the latest episode of podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, with both of them making a number of inaccurate claims about meat’s impact on the planet. 

Raising animals, particularly cows, for meat has the biggest impact on the climate and the environment of all foods. 

Animal agriculture contributes at least 16.5 percent of total global emissions. 

The reason that ruminant animals like cows are so bad for the climate is that they produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas with up to 80 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere. 

In addition, the vast amount of land used to graze animals or grow food to feed them — 80 percent of all agricultural land — could otherwise be absorbing carbon if it were returned to nature.

Hopefully advocates in DC push for diversification into lower cost plant based alternatives like beans that have a longer shelf life that beef. Those are readily available, cost less, and should lower the cost of living calculated by the CPI and inflation indexes

@BillGates book on climate seems to get the ratios between cattle feed and beef wrong. He says six calories of feed make one calorie of beef on page 115, when it’s closer to 30 https://t.co/4TFaQxSjk8

Fun fact: @Oatly and @BeyondMeat key financial metrics for 2020 are remarkably close (source: Oatly's IPO prospectus via SEC)

Stock => Revenue / Gross profit / Net loss
OTLY ==> $421m / $129m / $60m
BYND ==> $407m / $122m / $53m

But: Oatly growing much faster.
