‘Food Police’ – Watch: Morano on Fox & Friends on UN Meat report: UN seeks ‘massive expansion of the UN’s regulatory power…lifestyle controls’

August 9, 2019

Broadcast August 9, 2019 – Fox & Friends – Fox News Channel Fox News Channel: Eat less meat to save the planet, a new UN report warns – Aug. 09, 2019 – 4:05 – A new U.N. report claims we must follow its strict meat-eating guidelines or face certain climate change doom. ClimateDepot.com executive editor Marc Morano reacts. Rough Transcript: Brian Kilmeade: The latest item on the chopping block for climate change activists. A new report from the UN says eating less meat is crucial to saving the planet. The planet we are discussing is Earth. Here to weigh in from ClimateDepot.com and author of The Politically Incorrect Guide To Climate Change. Marc Morano. Marc, If we don’t stop eating meat, what will happen to the planet? Nothing good according to the UN. Marc Morano: >> The UN Is at it again. After already saving the planet in 2015 with the UN Paris agreement. They had celebrations and claimed they finally solved ‘global warming.’ They are now saying they didn’t save the planet after all with the UN Paris pact. (See: UN admits ‘historic’ Paris climate pact did not save Earth after-all! Now says: Cutting CO2 ‘not enough’ – ‘We must change food production to save the world’) Now we need a massive expansion of the UN’s regulatory power by limiting and reducing and actually getting rid of meat-eating altogether. Kilmeade: The U.S. eats more meat they claim. The avg. American consumption of beef 57 pounds per year. Poultry 110lbs and pork rinds 50lbs. What do those numbers do to the environment? Marc Morano: They claim that meat-eating is one of the most destructive environmental practices. Emissions from cows in past UN reports claimed to account for more emissions than all of the transportation sector — airlines, planes, automobiles, combined. [See: Cow ’emissions’ more damaging to planet than CO2 from cars: UN report: ‘Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together’] The UN has made the cow its primary target. This goes into the Green New Deal as well. The Green New Deal is going after meat-eating as well. The former United Nations climate chief actually said they want to treat meat eat eating — banish meat-eaters to separate sections, like smokers, in restaurants. [See:Former UN Climate Chief: Meat eaters should be banished, treated ‘the same way that smokers are treated”] The former UK climate advisor declared we need to make meat-eating have soaring costs. [See:Flashback: UK climate chief: ‘Successful’ UN global warming deal ‘would lead to soaring costs for meat and other foods’] If your behavior — like eating meat — is at odds with the climate agenda you are at odds with the regulatory state. They are talking about huge taxes, a proposed 19% tax in Germany right now. Kilmeade: If we have to get rid of the energy sector because now we have to tell the farmers and tell those ranchers to get rid of cattle, is anyone going to work anymore? Meanwhile, here’s a look at how much we have. They say America eats 25% of the world’s meat. So, again, all eyes on us. Marc Morano: All eyes on us. What’s interesting is back in the 1970s, they predicted a food catastrophe based on the global cooling scare. (See: Flashback 1974: U.S. Government’s Top Climatologist Said ‘Global Cooling’ Threatened Us With ‘Severe Food Crisis’) (In 1974, a CIA report warned of a potential food a coming food crisis due to global COOLING.) [CIA Report August 1974: “Potential implications of trends in world population, food production, and climate”: Excerpt: “There is, moreover, growing consensus among leading climatologists that the world is undergoing a cooling trend. If it continues, as feared…could have an enormous impact, not only on the food-population balance, but also on the world balance of power.”] Morano: Now they are saying because of global warming, they claim we need to change meat habits. This is nothing more than regulatory lifestyle controls by the UN. They are empowering themselves with this report. They claim more than 100 experts came together. This is an open call by the United Nations for activist policies in taxes and regulation. And we have seen activists come out with ideas like the meat patch, like a nicotine patch, which would induce allergies to people so they won’t eat meat. It’s getting whackier and whackier. [See: Flashback: NYU Bioethicist Prof. Liao on Eating meat: Seeks to ‘Make ourselves allergic to those proteins…unpleasant reaction…The way we can do that is to create some sort of meat patch’] Morano: They are dead serious. They are going after meat-eating in a way we have never envisioned. Kilmeade: How soon before protesters go into a restaurant and find people with a steak and start screaming at them with loud signs. Meanwhile, the co-chair of the UN panel on climate change says this: ‘We don’t want to tell people what to eat.’ Actually, they do. ‘But it would indeed be beneficial for both climate and human health if people in many rich countries consumed less meat and if politics would create appropriate incentives to that effect.’ Appropriate incentives make it so expensive that people don’t want to eat meat. Morano: ‘Appropriate incentives’ are taxes. Germany proposed a 19% tax on meat now to save the planet. This is what the entire agenda is about. It would have no impact on the climate. There are actually studies — one from Carnegie Mellon — showing that vegetables have three times the supposed climate impact that meat does. [See: STUDY: Vegetarian Diets ‘Worse’ For ‘Climate Change’ – Three Times ‘More Harmful to the Environment’] Morano: It all depends on how foods are prepared. Organic farming much more land-intensive than traditional farming. See:Study: Organic farming may be making ‘climate change’ worse Greens questioning Organic food: Agricultural scientist Steve Savage: ‘Contrary to widespread consumer belief, organic farming is not the best way to farm from an environmental point if view’ Study finds ‘organic crops yield 25% less overall than conventional crops’ — ‘Debunks claims by organic activists that organic yields can equal or exceed conventional yields’] Morano: There are all different ways to look at this. The UN has simplified it too. ‘We know best. We want to regulate how you eat.’ Kilmeade: And by the way, look it up we might show a little bit later said Sen. Elizabeth Warren got schooled by an Iowa farmer yesterday on a New Green Deal and everything else the Democrats stand for. Marc Morano. Thank you so much. Morano: Thank you. # Related Links: On Fox, climate denier Marc Morano dismisses UN report warning of risks to global food supply as “regulatory lifestyle controls” – Morano: “They’re going after meat-eating in a way that we’ve never envisioned” Eat insects? ‘Meat patch’ to stop cravings?

WATCH: After Demanding Meat Tax, Activists at UN COP29 Climate Summit Gobble Up Meat & Avoid Vegan Offerings

November 16, 2024

https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2024/11/14/watch-after-demanding-meat-tax-activists-at-un-cop29-climate-conference-wont-go-near-vegan-buffet-n2181994 By Rusty Weiss Climate nerds at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change (COP29) Conference being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, spent the early part of their panel discussions talking about how they could tax meat in an effort to force people away from the apparently ozone-depleting food group.Willem Branten, public affairs and policy officer at the True Animal Protein Price (TAPP) Coalition (yes, that is a thing), demanded the EU Commission, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and China lead the way in implementing what amounts to a “sin tax” on meat.Branten, who looks exactly as you might imagine, called on “the use of at least 20 percent of their revenues for … pricing mechanisms to finance the loss and damage fund so that we can pay for the damages done by our past consumption of meat and animal proteins.”Branten added, “This is why we want to make the polluter pay.” “We also urge the use of at least 20% of the revenues… so that we can pay for the damages done by our past consumption of meat and animal proteins. This is why we want to make the polluter pay.” – Willem Branten, public affairs and policy officer at the True Animal Protein Price Coalition, speaking at COP29. Make the polluter pay. Well, damn. If that’s what we’re going with, it looks like there are a bunch of global warming crazies who are going to be paying. At least, if this video from COP29 is any indication. The video is courtesy of Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot, who is reporting on-site from the U.N. conference. Morano, a former communications director for the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee under the George W. Bush administration, caught something very peculiar. Attendees lining up rows deep for two separate buffets that serve meat. All the while, the vegan buffet is looking pretty barren. There are roughly four people in line at the vegan buffet side of things. And perhaps a tumbleweed or two that blows through. One can almost hear the Western music with the whistling as Morano pans away from the hypocrites and over to the herbivores. “Here is the line at COP29’s food court for the buffet serving meat … another buffet serving meat, and here is the vegan-only restaurant,” Morano says. “Doesn’t quite look like the same amount of interest by the U.N. delegation here.” RedState spoke to Morano, who slammed the hypocrisy emanating from the UN. “The United Nations in the climate agenda are demanding a great food reset. Not for them, but for the rest of us — the masses,” he said. “Despite calling for a meat tax and a war on agriculture with massive restrictions on meat, the U.N. climate summit is selling massive counts of every type of meat to you and delegates who are greedily gobbling it up,” he added. In another clip, Morano points out that the menu at COP29 is selling some pricey burgers ($14.71) and chicken burgers while also offering a vegan burger ($16.47). At #COP29, while not lecturing about the horrors of livestock, delegates enjoy dining on beef & chicken burgers pic.twitter.com/U1SNl1H4kJ — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) November 14, 2024 Morano wonders why they would bother to offer the meat version at all, considering it’s so bad for the environment that they have to “restrict (it) for the rest of us.” He then films himself about to enjoy a hot dog with real beef at the summit, a menu item Morano says is “selling like hot cakes.” Morano tells RedState that NetZero climate initiatives are little more than a masquerade for the rich to enjoy life’s pleasures while forcing others to pay. “This is just another example of how NetZero is nothing short of the Sovietization of the once free,” he explained. “Private jets, lavish mansions, and plenty of meat for those who rule over the rest of us.” # At the UN’s taxpayer-funded #COP29, self-appointed philosopher kings are ordaining we plebes be forced to eat vegetarian; meanwhile, what do you think is on the menu at their confab?

Flashback 2009: ‘Don’t Blame Cows for Climate Change’ – University of Calif authority on farming refutes UN claims – Slams Paul McCartney & promoters of ‘meatless Mondays’

November 14, 2024

UC Davis Associate Professor and Air Quality Specialist Frank Mitloehner: Mitloehner traces much of the public confusion over meat and milk’s role in climate change to two sentences in a 2006 United Nations report, titled “Livestock’s Long Shadow.” Printed only in the report’s executive summary and nowhere in the body of the report, the sentences read: “The livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalents). This is a higher share than transport.” These statements are not accurate, yet their wide distribution through news media have put us on the wrong path toward solutions, Mitloehner says. “We certainly can reduce our greenhouse-gas production, but not by consuming less meat and milk. …

Mitloehner particularly objects to the U.N.’s statement that livestock account for more greenhouse gases than transportation, when there is no generally accepted global breakdown of gas production by industrial sector.

…”This lopsided ‘analysis’ is a classical apples-and-oranges analogy that truly confused the issue,” Mitloehner said.

Broadcast November 12, 2024 Marc Moran Appears on FBN’s ‘The Bottom Line’ to Discuss Meat Tax at COP29 Summit RUSH TRANSCRIPT: Dagen: Climate activists at UN summit demand a meat tax, aiming to slim down consumption by fattening up the price tag, funding vegetables and meat alternative by charging more for your burger. Video Clip from UN COP29: “We believe that cop29, conferences there after, can be successful if the closing statement includes transitioning from animal protein over consumption over guide lines…We want to give some of the revenues of to consumers, to reduce prices of healthy foods like vegetables, and fruits and plant-based meat and pay for the loss and damage funds.

Marc Morano: This has been going on for decades. I worked in the U.S. Senate Environment Committee back in 2006, and the U.N. came out with an agriculture report claiming cow emissions are worse for the planet than all of the transportation sectors combined, planes, trains, and automobiles. See: 2006 UN report: Cow ’emissions’ more damaging to planet than CO2 from cars Also see: https://x.com/Restitutor_/status/1857021550710366618 Morano: The UN has been trying for 20 years — to start meat restrictions and net zero goals. In the Netherlands, the farmers formed their own political party and they fought back against agriculture climate restrictions and suspended them. We were told it was a conspiracy theory to believe the climate agenda wants to ration food, but now, they are openly saying it with featured speakers at the U.N. summit. Make no mistake, they are coming for your meat. They want it to be rationed. And the idea that plant-based meat is healthier — even CNN nutritionists ridiculed fake plant-based processed meat as unhealthy compared to actual meat. (See: CNN’s nutritionist, Lisa Drayer, was blunt, noting the amount of saturated fat and calories in Burger King’s Impossible Burger: “If you are choosing to eat these [fake meat] burgers solely for their health value, you may want to reconsider.”) Sean: Marc Morano, keep up the good fight at cop 29, we appreciate it.

And on top of that, if there’s some money left, it’s really important, we should also pay for the loss and damage funds, because when we eat meat and dairy, this is causing like 20% of all greenhouses gas emissions, so it’s damaging a lot of things in the world. Climate change is caused 20% by meat and dairy, so the producers of meat and dairy should pay for the damage they cause. It’s normal, when I damage the window of my neighbor, I have to repair this damage, but meat and dairy processors also have to repair the damage they cause on others and in the future. So, thank you for the question.” # Activist Willem Branten: COP29 Can Only Be Successful if Meat Tax Is Announced (Full Video) Branten is from The True Animal Protein Price Coalition BRANTEN: “And for one more time, our demands, they are — we believe that COP29 and UNFCCC conferences thereafter can only be successful if the closing statement includes transitioning away from animal protein overconsumption according to national or global dietary guidelines by implementing greenhouse gas emission pricing mechanisms in agri food systems. We urge the EU commission, the OECD and China to lead the way towards these harmonized pricing mechanisms, and we also urge the use of at least 20 percent of their revenues for above mentioned pricing mechanisms to finance the loss and damage fund so that we can we pay for the damages done by our past consumption of meat and animal proteins. This is why we want to make the polluter pay.” Activist Willem Branten: We Are Going to Tax Farmers and Use that Money to Help Them Produce Vegetables Instead of Meat – ‘The risk of backlash and reactionary response to such policies is always a possibility’ BRANTEN: “That coalition as a company lobbies in the European Union to not only use the money by the revenue of greenhouse gas emission pricing, not only use it for the loss and damage fund, but also use it to give a roadmap to farmers themselves to help them with our green transition, and to therefore subsidize ecological farming and consumption of vegetables and greens. I think currently there’s the problem with there not being a clear roadmap, especially in Europe with the switching political climate, and therefore there’s also a lot of uncertainty for farmers in Europe and therefore there are also calls and protests, I’m not sure whether this is also happening in other Global North countries, because I myself am from the Netherlands, but this is what I would like share.” Related: American Energy Alliance’s Statement on Finalized Biden-Harris Methane Tax WASHINGTON DC (11/12/2024) – The Biden-Harris administration is poised to finalize a new methane emissions tax for U.S. oil and gas producers today. The tax, mandated by President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, was originally outlined but left to the Environmental Protection Agency to finalize. The finalized rule will impose a penalty of $900 per metric ton on methane emissions that exceed a government-set threshold. AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement in response: “Reliable and affordable energy is critical for American households, businesses, and manufacturers to thrive. Having decisively lost an election where energy policy was a key issue, the Biden administration is using its final days to impose taxes that will raise energy costs for Americans. Repealing this tax on natural gas should be a top priority for Republican leaders in the new Congress.” Related: University of Nebraska research on cows emissions counters climate claims: ‘There is more carbon sequestered than what cattle breathe out in CO2 & produce in methane’ – From the researchers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln – Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources: Galen Erickson, professor in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Tala Awada, professor and associate dean in the Agricultural Research Division, said: “When optimized grazing is applied based on the climate and the region, there is more carbon sequestered than what cattle breathe out in CO2 and produce in methane,” Erickson said.

Pentagon Gives $1.5 Million To Dem Activist’s Fake Meat Laboratory – ‘Uses fungus protein to make fake meat in a lab’

September 17, 2024

https://www.dailywire.com/news/pentagon-gives-1-5-million-to-dem-activists-fake-meat-laboratory By Spencer Lindquist The Department of Defense awarded nearly $1.5 million in taxpayer money to a Democratic donor’s company, which makes fake lab-grown meat from fermented fungus. The Better Meat Company, which uses fungus protein to make fake meat in a lab, is led by CEO Paul Shapiro, an activist with a history of donating to Democrats. The taxpayer-funded grant will bankroll a “bioproduction facility for mycoprotein ingredients that are shelf-stable, have high protein and fiber contents, and can be dehydrated.” The company creates the phony meat by feeding water and nutrients to fungal roots stored in a bioreactor, turning the material into a semi-solid gray liquid that is strained to finally become the end product. A Pentagon spokesman told The Daily Wire that the award “is in support of a bioproduction facility for types of protein that are shelf-stable, have high protein and fiber content, and can rapidly support the sustainment requirements of our globally-deployed forces.” “We are investing in sources of protein such as chickpeas and tofu. The Department is not funding research into ‘lab-grown’ or ‘fake meat’ – nor does it have plans to include such protein substitutes in service members’ MREs,” the Pentagon spokesman went on to say. The grant will, however, fund a “facility for mycoprotein ingredients,” the same exact ingredient used to create the fake meat. The Daily Wire asked the Defense Department if these facilities will be used by the Better Meat Company to create fake meat during or after the grant term, but has not received a response. The Defense Department previously announced plans to feed imitation meat to soldiers in an attempt to reduce its carbon footprint. The department then backtracked after being hit with widespread criticism, and agreed not to fund the fake meat initiative this July — just before the Pentagon seemingly reversed course again with its grant to the Better Meat Company. “We believe the future of meat production is fermentation-fueled,” the Better Meat Company claims on its site. “We aspire to revolutionize the meat industry by creating a new and better way to make meat,” it says, referencing its faux-meat product. Jack Hubbard is the Executive Director of the Center for the Environment and Welfare, an organization “founded to help consumers, companies, and stakeholders navigate issues related to sustainability and animal welfare.” Hubbard tore into the Defense Department’s grant and expressed concern that the funding would support the company behind the production of phony meat.

Great Food Reset – Meat rationing has arrived! Banks Urged to Stop Financing Livestock Production – Over 100 climate groups pressure JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup & other banks to cut funding to meat & dairy companies

September 14, 2024

https://americanagnetwork.com/2024/09/banks-urged-to-stop-financing-livestock-production/ By Jesse Allen Over 100 climate groups are pressuring JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and other private banks to stop financing global meat and dairy companies. Agriculture Dive Dot Com says the institutions’ lending activities undermine their environmental commitments. An open letter from groups led by Friends of the Earth to some of the world’s biggest banks calls for a halt on any new financing that expands industrial livestock production and to add requirements that meat, dairy, and feed clients disclose their climate action plans. The letter calls out the banks by name for supporting the world’s biggest meat, dairy, and animal feed producers like JBS, Tyson Foods, and others. While food companies are a small part of the banks’ overall lending portfolios, the groups say they have a much bigger impact on the institutions’ environmental footprints. The letter says increased lending has let the world’s biggest emitters grow their operations and emissions. # Friends of the Earth: ‘105 Orgs Demand Banks Stop Financing Industrial Livestock Production that Fuels the Climate Crisis’

Update on ‘greenest Olympics’ ever! No AC, ‘vegan meat scandal’, hot buses & now: Eco-friendly ‘hard cardboard beds’ robbing sleep from athletes – ‘We haven’t had this amount of complaints about a village in Olympic history’

August 8, 2024

Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton unpacks the scandal concerning Olympians being given vegan meals. Sky News: ‘Unpacking the vegan meat scandal’: “While Paris has been busy spooking its carbon-friendly credentials, the push to go green has left many athletes seeing red: ‘We haven’t seen this at Olympic Games before. We haven’t had this amount of complaints about a village in Olympic history.’ From hard cardboard beds to running out of meat in the athletes’ Village, Parisians are seeking to be more climate-friendly. They’ve shifted the focus from the athletes to poor conditions. But how much of it is about so-called sustainability, and how much is a bunch of cheap beds and bad food a cost-cutting initiative?” Related: ‘A disaster’: Paris Olympics’ lack of ‘meat-based protein’ to lower ‘carbon footprint’ creates havoc: ‘Athletes complain about the lack of animal protein-rich diet’ Quality of Paris 2024 Olympic medals criticised after visible deterioration in just one week – “So these Olympic medals look great when they’re brand new,” Huston said in the video posted on Instagram. “But after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit and… pic.twitter.com/LNs1vT4Bq7 — Marc Morano (@ClimateDepot) August 9, 2024

We’re saved! Lancaster’s student’s union in UK votes to ban meat & dairy at its campus-wide catering outlets

May 24, 2024

https://www.farminguk.com/news/lancaster-s-student-s-union-votes-to-ban-meat-and-dairy-at-outlets_64677.html by FarmingUK Team | Dairy, Education, Meat, News Rural campaigners have hit back after a small group of students at Lancaster University voted to ban meat and dairy products at its campus-wide catering outlets. The Students’ Union voted to transition to 50% plant-based catering by 2025, and 100% plant-based catering by 2027. 18 out of 19 members voted in support of it. The move, however, has been branded an “attack on freedom of choice” against the majority of Lancashire’s student population, which comprises of some 13,000 students. … Sabina Roberts, a spokeswoman for the rural group, said the decision “absolutely should have been put to a student vote”. “It seems preposterous that a minority group of students could take a decision so complex and personal – an individual’s dietary choices – and force it onto the wider student body. “Vegan campaigners are welcome to present their arguments in favour of plant-based diets, but should not impose a diet in university-affiliated buildings. “Students should take on their democratic duty and consider placing forward a counter-motion that keeps meat on the menu.” The Countryside Alliance has spearheaded what it calls a ‘rural fightback’– encouraging universities and local councils to reject calls for compulsory veganism. Instead, its motion commits universities and councils to procuring locally-sourced meat, dairy, and plant-based produce. Ten councils, including Dorset, Wiltshire, and Suffolk councils, have passed the motion so far.

Your meat will be tainted with Gates’ vaccine! Bill Gates funds cow vaccine to reduce livestock ‘farts’ full of methane emissions to stop ‘climate change’

May 12, 2024

https://www.axios.com/2024/05/10/arkeabio-cow-emissions-bill-gates May 10, 2024 –By Dan Primack & Ben Geman ArkeaBio, a Boston developer of a vaccine to reduce livestock methane emissions, raised a $26.5 million in venture capital funding led by an investment fund founded by Bill Gates. Why it matters: Caring about cow farts (or burps) has become a political punchline, but they’re estimated to create more than 5% of global greenhouse gasses. Vaccines could be a relatively low-cost, scalable solution, particularly as food demand increases. The science: Methane is much more potent than is carbon dioxide, in terms of its trapping atmospheric heat, although it also dissipates down faster. The deal: Breakthrough Energy Ventures led the Series A round, and was joined by Grantham Foundation, AgriZeroNZ, Rabo Ventures, Overview Capital and The51 Food & AgTech Fund. BEV previously funded ArkeaBio’s $12 million seed round. The bottom line: The whole thing feels a little dystopian — giving animals injections so they cook the planet a little less before we cook some of them — but agribusiness sailed over the dystopian hurdle long ago.
