Donald Trump's ignorance is one way to destroy the planet. He tweeted “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” which is laughable. In fact, Trump speaks about China on frequent occasions, briefly saying that China should be held accountable for climate change. It’s severely unnerving knowing that we only have 12 years left until climate change is irreversible yet the big Donald Trump “doesn’t believe in it!”

You can now pick up your jaw from off the floor after reading “we only have 12 years left.” I imagine you were marginally shocked. The world’s leading climate scientists have warned there are only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of a 1.5C rise. Even a percentage of this rise will undoubtedly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for millions of people. Although nature will suffer the most. At a 2-degree celsius rise, insects and plants would be approaching to losing half of their own habitat.

Oxford says veganism is the 'single biggest way' to reduce our environmental impact on the planet. It is now known that we have enough food to feed up to 10 billion people whereas the majority of it is feeding the animals, to then be fed to humans. Eating meat is responsible for up to 90% of deforestation and is the leading factor of species extinction. By eating meat you may be stealing your family's future. The unfortunate factor in all of this is money.

If people were not getting paid to work in slaughterhouses, sell their animal products or by working for fossil fuel companies then would climate change be as bad as it is today - or would it even exist?
