The carbon cycle is rather irrelevant. The trophic pyramid is what's to argue about. All the energy food provides comes from the sun hitting the land. We need to start there. Meat still only conserves 10% of the energy the plants provided to the animal. Therefore meat consumption is insanely wasteful use of land and resources. We could grow soy for human consumption on a fraction of the land for meat production and reforest the remaining space for carbon capture. Natural ecosystems tend to not exploit resources to the point of collapse. Large herds of bisons may have roamed the lands, but their existence wasn't borrowed from erroded soils, drained sources, globalized deforestation and synthetic fertilization from mined minerals. They were bound to what their local ecosystem could provide. |
