Not Global Warming... Global Weirding!

So, as areas of our planet reach new record cold temperatures this concept of Global Warming needs to shift to Global Weirding! 

Many areas of the world will get colder, like San Francisco, as other areas of the world grow much warmer in summer months.  There is no real way to predict or know how this planet will shift in temperatures as it warms, cools, melts and locks in more sun's energy into our atmosphere.

The planetary shifts are upon us now... not in the future, reminding us to get aligned, reduce all our GHG emissions and realize the way we have been treating the planet for too long.  It is a bold reminder that our way of using the planet as an endless resource has come to an end period.  It is time to shift and evolve as the planet attempts to deal with the human impact on its system.

WAKE UP WORLD... TIMES ARE A CHANGING!

The Real Price of MEAT!

Statistics: If every American (300 million) gave up meat for 1 day a week, this would have the same positive effect on reducing greenhouse gases as saving 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles! (source: “Meat the Truth” documentary, video clip) ^[1]

**Price of Meat is about the cost of meat on global warming and what people and governments are doing to reduce it’s production and consumption.

Livestock production is the #2 cause of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the emissions from all forms of transportation combined (UN). In addition, livestock production is the #1 source of anthropogenic (human-based) methane emissions, which is a gas that has 20 times the heat-trapping power (GWP) of CO2. By reducing methane emissions we could more quickly cool the atmosphere, but ignoring it could be disastrous. Scientists say that global warming could trigger the release of billions of tons of methane trapped beneath the Arctic Ice and oceans, leading to a point of no-return.
