Itās a vicious cycle: factory farming intensifies climate pressure, climate chaos ensues and then farms face the consequences, putting animals and food security at risk.
We canāt fix the climate crisis without ending factory farming.

Glad to see Ezra Klein coming out against the SOB Act. The entire factory farming system is based on efficiency to keep meat cheap and abundant. And that obsession is not just costing us our humanity but a liveable planet.

My @nytopinion colleague @ezraklein on how an obsession with efficiency can cost us our humanity ā in this case, in how we (mis)treat pigs on factory farms, and how some in Congress aim to make this trade off worse. nytimes.com/2026/06/14/opiniā¦

āIf the bees disappear off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.ā

They said "too small, no defense, not superstar material." Keep this in mind in the fight for animals and the health of the planet.

āIf Earthās natural resource economy had an actual currency, then the role of humans within this economy would be to create counterfeit notes. Nothing humans produce can be used as actual collateral in the ecosystemā

Really glad to see this. It is an uncomfortable fact that we've been speaking about for a while.
A new report from Project Drawdown & University of Missouri shows that most of our crops are going to biofuel & animal feed, not human consumption.
This is insane!
We have enough food to feed the entire world, but we're choosing to starve people to feed cars & livestock instead.

So many externalities of animal ag. And very little thought about whether animal suffering has an economic impact. Really glad to see this book!

The Benefits and Costs of Animal Welfare
In his deeply thoughtful and important book, economist Nicolas Treich considers direct (animal-centered) and indirect (human-centered) aspects of animal welfare.

Regulators have linked Mark McAfeeās raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill.
āIāve put a couple kids in the hospital,ā McAfee said. āBut hereās the thing: Iām a pioneer.ā

At 1,035 feet above sea level, Hoover Dam loses the ability to run most of its turbines ā and hydropower output drops by 70%. That threshold could be breached as soon as August 2026.

Candidates should also be talking about what industries are causing the nitrate-contaminated water and rising cancer rates - manure & fertilizers on feed crops.
Op-ed: Iowa's biggest political issue is cancer.
For decades, farm pollution was treated as untouchable. Now, candidates from both parties are talking about nitrate-contaminated drinking water and rising cancer rates.

š£ Help protect New Mexico's waters!
Federal rollbacks have already stripped Clean Water Act protections from up to 95% of New Mexicoās streams and 88% of its wetlands. Without decisive state action to implement strong protections, these waters, and the communities that depend on them, remain at risk.

Climatemaxxing livestock can worsen animal welfare, as a new UK govt report notes. And yet many efforts to make livestock healthier are actually win-win-wins, raising productivity, improving animal welfare, and reducing GHG emissions and other environmental impacts, as I note in this @Sentient_Media article. buff.ly/Snf33RO

āA teaspoon of healthy soil holds more living organisms than there are people on planet Earthā
Yet humans are rapidly degrading world soil and threatening world food supply
Without soil, there would be few plants on the land and nothing for us or animals to eat

This is encouraging. Would love to see the published poll.
New national polling is in, and the message is clear.
82% of Trump's supporters want tougher action on polluters. 7 to 1 want the EPA stronger, not weaker. Nearly 8 in 10 say they have a right to know what's in their air, water, food, and the products they use.
We agree.

U.S. Fish & Wildlife say atrazine will not harm endangered or threatened wildlife. Maybe they should read the EPA report concluding it is, in fact, toxic, especially to aquatic life. P.S. ~80% of atrazine is used on corn. thenewlede.org/2026/06/atrazā¦
