Over the past few years, he has been the coordinating lead author for the 2018 IPCC special report on “1.5 degrees” and he has long been a proponent of fossil fuel producers being made to take responsibility for cleaning up after the products they sell, rather than shifting that onus on powerless consumers. In 2005, he proposed global carbon budgets and in 2010, he received the Appleton Medal and Prize from the Institute of Physics for his work in climate sciences. Based on his work with the IPCC in 2001, when quantifying the size of human influence on observed and projected changes in global temperatures. The BBC described him as the physicist behind Net Zero. Allen goes on to say, "If we are going to set these very ambitious goals to stop global warming, then we need to have accounting tools that are fit for purpose… The errors distort cows' contributions – both good and bad – and, in doing so, give CO2 producers a free pass on their total GHG contribution."Īllen is a heavyweight in climate circles. Leading climate scientist Myles Allen says, "The traditional way of accounting for methane emissions from cows overstates the impact of a steady herd by a factor of four” – which, he says, is a problem. More seriously, Nigel did you watch the video with Myles Allen linked to by DaveMac? You should, if you're interested in quantifying who contributes what emissions. There is a serious point in there somewhere but I'm not sure what it is now. I suspect a conspiracy between the Macleod and Mcdonald clans. Not in my back yard! This madness must be stopped. So if we assume that the current kill ratio of 1:5 is the sustainable one and remains the same, we now need a global herd of 146 billion cattle. Currently humans kill about 300 million cattle per year for food, from a global herd of average size 1.5 billion. This results in a demand for 8 billion x 3.65 = 29.2 billion cattle to be slaughtered each year by archetypal red headed pasty skinned scotsman Mr R. Eventually all 8 billion humans on Earth are following the Desperate Dave diet. And as they grow in strength their families, friend's, and acquaintances adopt it too. Unfortunately the community of climbers who inexplicably follow him on socials are so enticed by the guarantee of uber-Ondra strength that they also switch to the diet. No problem since he lives on top of Ben Nevis and just wrestles the nearest Highland coo down to Fort Bill Maccy D's to be sacrificed in the traditional paleolithic fashion that has been passed down through millenia since time immemorial by a spooky clown in garish ill fitting dungarees. So Dave is now scranning a whole cow every hundred days. The internet says that if you took all the available meat from a single cow then you're looking at getting 1600 burgers And he does this forever from now on, since the unexpected (?) result of his experiment is that he becomes the world's strongest man, climbing 9c+ easily, fighting baddies, and using a blowtorch to shave. Lets assume that Desperate Dave eats his expected 16 cow patties a day, every day.
