Hansen Virus Threatens To Wipe Out Livestock Industry World Wide

Livestock producers world wide need to stop sticking their ‘head in the sand‘ over global warming. I know that the majority of producers just want to get on with their lives and hope that all of this will either go away or just won’t impact on them that badly.

Any regular readers will know that NASA scientist Dr James Hansen spearheads the push to rid the world of fossil fuels. Hansen wields enormous influence with not only the UN, but world leaders.

In this video Hansen tells listeners that two things must happen to reduce Carbon emissions and save the planet from certain destruction:

1. Governments to immediately decarbonize their economies and stop burning and mining coal.

2. Private citizens should stop eating meat and live on a plant based diet.

Australia is only 12 months away from introducing an emissions trading scheme that will effectively tax our mining companies $5 billion over the next 5 years. Hansen has specifically targeted Australian Coal exports saying:

“Australia exports coal and sets atmospheric carbon dioxide goals so large as to guarantee destruction of much of the life on the planet,”

Watch the video and see what Hansen recommends as the number 1 thing private citizens can do to stop global warming -- it’s not changing your light bulbs or switching to solar hot water.

The spread of the Hansen virus threatens to wipe out the livestock industry world wide.

I can almost hear you say that most folks would never voluntarily give up eating meat and thats true. However with a legislated emissions trading scheme or carbon tax, the government can tax any industry they deem undesirable out of existence.

The governments climate change adviser Ross Garnaut has already warned that the livestock industry will be one of the hardest hit industry sector under Australia’s carbon emissions trading scheme.

In fact a number of the countries leading economists have already warned that once Agriculture becomes a covered industry in 2015, most farming enterprises will be unviable, particularly livestock producers.

Forget the foot and mouth virus or mad cow disease the real and present threat to livestock producers in Australia is the Hansen virus.
