素食与全球暖化
 
  • 根据联合国跨政府气候变迁小组的报告「牲畜的巨大阴影」指出,畜牧生产是导致全球暖化的最大因素。
  • 动物排泄物及畜牧饲料作物用地,对水源所造成的污染影响,比人们所有活动加总为大。
  • 供应肉食餐所需土地,是蔬食餐的10到20倍之多,全世界几乎有一半的谷物和大豆产量,都用于喂食牲畜。

Proportion of GHG emissions from different parts of livestock production
畜牧生产排量:18%
全球运输工具排量: 13.5%


畜牧生产占温室气体总排量的18%,包括:
二氧化碳:9%
甲烷:37%—其对全球暖化的威胁,以100年分摊,是二氧化碳的23倍、以20年分摊是62倍
氧化亚氮(N2O):65%—其对全球暖化的威胁,以100年分摊,是二氧化碳的296倍、以20年分摊是275倍

生产1公斤牛肉:

  • 温室气体排量威胁,相当于36.4公斤的二氧化碳。
  • 使用化学肥料相当于释放340克的二氧化硫,和59克的磷酸盐,耗费1亿6千9百万焦耳的能量。
  • 生产1公斤牛肉的二氧化碳排量相当于欧系车每250公里的排量,足以点亮1个100瓦的灯泡20天。
  • 超过叁分之二的能源用于供应生产及运输牲畜饲料。

「永冻土层正在逐日瓦解,甲烷和其他气体也持续释放到大气中,我衷心期盼有人听进去。甲烷和氧化亚氮是来自畜牧养殖、牲畜用地和饲养动物用地,它们远比二氧化碳更毒、更具危险性。
大气的温度越来越高,导致甲烷正在冒泡释放,如果我们能遏止造成全球暖化的罪魁祸首,亦即畜养动物,我们就可以拯救地球。我们必须停止残害人类或动物,停止生产动物制品,同时停止使用它们。」
