素食與全球暖化
 
  • 根據聯合國跨政府氣候變遷小組的報告「牲畜的巨大陰影」指出,畜牧生產是導致全球暖化的最大因素。
  • 動物排泄物及畜牧飼料作物用地,對水源所造成的污染影響,比人們所有活動加總為大。
  • 供應肉食餐所需土地,是蔬食餐的10到20倍之多,全世界幾乎有一半的穀物和大豆產量,都用於餵食牲畜。

Proportion of GHG emissions from different parts of livestock production
畜牧生產排量:18%
全球運輸工具排量: 13.5%


畜牧生產佔溫室氣體總排量的18%,包括:
二氧化碳:9%
甲烷:37%—其對全球暖化的威脅,以100年分攤,是二氧化碳的23倍、以20年分攤是62倍
氧化亞氮(N2O):65%—其對全球暖化的威脅,以100年分攤,是二氧化碳的296倍、以20年分攤是275倍

生產1公斤牛肉:

  • 溫室氣體排量威脅,相當於36.4公斤的二氧化碳。
  • 使用化學肥料相當於釋放340克的二氧化硫,和59克的磷酸鹽,耗費1億6千9百萬焦耳的能量。
  • 生產1公斤牛肉的二氧化碳排量相當於歐系車每250公里的排量,足以點亮1個100瓦的燈泡20天。
  • 超過三分之二的能源用於供應生產及運輸牲畜飼料。

「永凍土層正在逐日瓦解,甲烷和其他氣體也持續釋放到大氣中,我衷心期盼有人聽進去。甲烷和氧化亞氮是來自畜牧養殖、牲畜用地和飼養動物用地,它們遠比二氧化碳更毒、更具危險性。
大氣的溫度越來越高,導致甲烷正在冒泡釋放,如果我們能遏止造成全球暖化的罪魁禍首,亦即畜養動物,我們就可以拯救地球。我們必須停止殘害人類或動物,停止生產動物製品,同時停止使用它們。」
