food production is responsible for roughly 25% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of those gases come from raising animals for food.

If someone dropped in from another planet, would they think we are taking good care of this one (the one was call "ours")?

It is hard to fathom that small changes in temperature can create enormous changes in the environment.  With an accelerated rate of change in the surface temperature of the planet, weather patterns are becoming unpredictable and dramatic, with devastating storms, tornados, hurricanes, floods, fires and droughts becoming much more common.

The burning of rainforests to create more land for animal agriculture contributes significantly to global warming and species extinction, in addition to depleting our freshwater resources.

"I believe humankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else’s planet, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away."

To what end will we go to continue eating animals?  These are packs used to measure methane production by the cows in an effort to find ways to reduce this massive contributor to total greenhouse gases.
