It’s one way to cut consumption.
Yeah, I was thinking that probably would be healthier for me in the long run, ignoring all the other climate effects that will try to kill me.
Don't worry. Most food will experience high inflation for the rest of our lives as agricultural output is dependent on a stable climate.
I won't be surprised if meat was too expensive for the vast majority before 2050.
We will just redefine ‘meat’ to include the six legged!
You forgot a word: my.
Sugar is one product that should go up in price. But don't worry, I'm sure lobbyists are pushing the government to subsidize HFCS even more.
People who don’t eat vegetables are fucking weird to me.
?? Plenty of people eat both sugar and vegetables lol.
If its only sugar than thats good news.
I don't think that will prevent obese people from being obese since they are mostly the rich people. The only thing that could help against obesity is better healthcare education and not increasing the price of sugar and food that has high amounts of sugar in it.
Atleast that is my opinion but it might be worth a try.
Edit: My bad I didn't read the article. It says climate crisis is increasing price for sugar around the world. Not something I personally care about because I don't eat a lot of sugar but this still might help against obesity. Allthough I don't think rich (fat) people will care enough and just buy the food anyways since price isn't the problem.
It's already problematic getting a black coffee from McDonalds before nightshift. Way to many people put a lot of effort into getting "ready" and are content with dining at McDonalds. It's not like they have an emergancy. They really get ready and eat there and act like it is a real dinner where I see it as a necessity or emergancy before I starve or am tired (coffee). It took me 20 minutes just to get a coffee cause they ordered food. I always wonder where these people get the energy from leaving home, driving to a McDonalds and eating there. So much better options to cook at home.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
