The first time the US Government was warned of climate disaster, was
in testimony from vegetarians at Senate Select-Committee on Nutrition & Human Needs: June 1974.1) ( Senators McGovern, Dole, Kennedy, Percy, Humphrey).This was done in the public comments for Panel Nutrition & Intern’l Situ and Nutrition & Health.
( B.Pinkus, N.Shriver, B.Quealy, CV. Salamone, T.Jackrell)

They weren’t worried about CO2 buildup, because plants and trees thrive on absorbing CO2. They presented evidence that because of deforestation, clearing land for feed crops and grazing forced overpopulations of cattle, chickens and pigs primarily, we have lost the photosynthetic carrying capacity of the earth, destroying not only the vegetation necessary to absorb CO2, but capacity to retain moisture.
One can easily see that climate normalization involves radical reduction in the consumption of meat and animal products, just as it was clear 33 years ago.
However, as Bob Dole eloquently told me “son, there ain’t many vegetarians in my district, and I get Elected by the people in my district. Best of luck to you”.

Clearly the government was going to wait for climate disaster!
Then in the early 80.s I presented evidence to the UN Climate Council that global warming would lead to global cooling, drought and floods, based on the fact warm air carries more water. Larger systems will drop their loads early and down winders get less thanks to land clearing and by, commercial, chemical feed crop agriculture and grazing.

Now 33 yrs later, and no where in your documentary do you state clearly that the #! cause of losing land, has been to feed crop agriculture, and the inferior protein industry control over both the USDA and the Forest Service grazing lease program. Nearly 50% of the public lands leased to cattle are overgrazed (Jack Sheppard “Forest Killers“).
Even when their steady pollution of groundwater leads to publicized deaths, the industry manages to have a vegetable farm take the blame, as evidenced from recent e-coli outbreak in Salinas Valley.

Al Gore is perhaps now the worst example of an unwillingness to give up meat,
even if it means “The End“(Larry Ephrom).(other good books for you,“Topsoil and Civilization“(?), “Losing Ground” (Eric Eckholm)& “Survival of Mankind” (Bruno Shubert, Hygienic Society)
