More heat, less rain, more drought, no more Amazon, a quite simple turn of events going wrong extremely fast. There are Land Sparing policies in act to help reduce greenhouse gasses. The land sparing policies rely on market mediated changes to production, consumption and change. Deforestation reduced by either the tax or subsidy would achieve more than half of Brazilian deforestation policy targets seemed to be the best model for progress in Brazil. Animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of the environmental destruction says Demosthenes Maratos at The Sustainability Institute at Molloy College.

Some manufactures such as McDonalds are even trying to help the efforts on cattle ranching. Cattle ranching and its effect on global warming are more dangerous in some come …show more content…
