Talking about food production, replacing meats, while under the immense strain, unpredictability, and extremities of our current weather and climate on planet Earth? So not to bring Debbie Downer to this party. I like the approach and your ideas Pat you're passionate but the impossible mission really is on our doorstep now. How to slow down or stop runaway climate change. Last I checked we are deep into disaster mode all over the globe. It might not matter how much food we have if we lose our home or lives to possibly endless fires, floods, and unsurvivable temperatures.

With great respect Gigaton and your efforts to help our climate, but now growing season, precipitation, temperatures for many regions use to be predictable. Afterall a definition of climate appears to be at least: An enduring stable predictable series of weather patterns that have established themselves in particular regions and one can usually expect certain outcomes within a predictable parameter. What appears now both nationally and worldwide is weather patterns are anything but stable and predictable.

We’re all thinking a lot about the weather these days. Is it more unpredictable? more extreme? or is it just something that we have always thought of as “normal"

Lately news reports state that for 1st time in history of keeping weather data that the Earth has experienced some of its hottest days on record. News folks are routinely telling us that much of the South central and Southern parts of the US are sitting in triple digit heat. We’re hearing high temp 105-120 degree F. . Why is there increased frequency of extreme weather events? Temperature and precipitation data is now beginning to break all historical weather records .

We believe that the public needs to come to grips, face to face, that we are in an emergency situation, and all levels need to take immediate action. The real possibility exists that we likely have passed some key climate tipping points and have now launched into uncharted dangerous weather territory for good. If Gigaton and Pat you could do anything please Sound-The-Alarm bell to the public.. Thanks again for your efforts

I liked your article and appreciate what you have been through and what you have done. I will definitely try out a vegan burger in the next few weeks.
