Livestock is the primary human-caused emitter of methane, and methane not only has 72 times the heat-trapping ability, it is a shorter-lived gas. This means that it will leave the atmosphere much faster than CO2, within just a decade as opposed to thousands of years for CO2. Therefore, eliminating methane by eliminating livestock breeding is the fastest way to cool the planet. #SMCH

Even if the world reduces greenhouse gas emissions, the planet will take time to recover from the gases already in the atmosphere. This is why it is necessary to focus on short-lived gases, namely methane. #SMCH

The problems we already face now—such as the warming atmosphere, water shortage, food scarcity, and desertification—we can quickly eliminate by stopping meat production. Stop it now, no further! #SMCH

When it's cold, methane hydrate is just compressed under the ocean floor and lies there, harmless. But now as the weather is getting warmer, these gases are going to be released. #SMCH

Scientists found that 60% of the black carbon particles in Antarctica were carried there by the wind from South American forests that are burned to clear land for livestock production. #SMCH

Black carbon is a greenhouse particle that is 680 times as heat-trapping as CO2, and it causes the ice sheets and glaciers around the world to melt even faster. Up to 40% of black carbon emissions come from burning forests for livestock. #SMCH

Oceanic dead zones, for example, are caused primarily by fertilizer runoff from agriculture that is mainly used for animal feed. #SMCH

In Brazil, 90% of the land deforested since 1970 has gone toward livestock pasture or feed. Lush forests are being turned into barren fields at a rate of 36 football fields per minute, are being destroyed as we are speaking. #SMCH

We should be in coordination with the universal energy, the loving law of nature. If humanity does not respect other forms of life, then the life of humans will also be in peril, because we are all interconnected. #SMCH

We can start by cutting down on the biggest methane producer in the world; that is, animal raising. So, to cool the planet most quickly, we have to stop consuming meat in order to stop the livestock-raising industry, and thus stop greenhouse gases, methane and other toxic gases from the animal industry. #SMCH

The good, loving, compassionate energy will ward off the darkness that is looming toward us, that is next to us right now. #SMCH

Aside from methane, other lethal, toxic gases are emitted by the livestock industry as well. It is the largest source at 65% of global nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas with approximately 300 times the warming potential of CO2. #SMCH

We must conserve the water; we must do everything we can. And the first step to begin is to be vegan, because the animal industry uses over 70% of the clean water of our planet. #SMCH
