We’re All Fucked

But don’t worry… we probably deserved it.

Unless we all go vegan with immediate effect, the planet will soon be unliveable. That’s the startling claim of Dr Peter Carter, a top climate scientist who claims that not only are we all fucked unless we abolish animal agriculture, but we are all fucked unless we abolish it starting, basically, from today.

The guy must be a crackpot, right?

Wrong. Peter Carter is one of the world’s most eminent climate scientists, with more than 50 years’ experience studying the causes and effects of global warming. He is a Director of the Climate Emergency Institute and expert reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

The IPCC is recognised as the authoritative voice on the science of climate change. Their entire purpose is to collate and examine all the evidence available in order to assess the scientific basis of the current climate emergency, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation.

We are standing on a precipice, with so much at stake, and the situation is unbelievably urgent. Carter calls the imminent climate disaster, “the greatest, worst challenge we have ever faced in the whole history of the human species.”
