WE ARE THE WEATHER: SAVING THE PLANET BEGINS AT BREAKFAST

Book ID/图书代码： 12844018C00015

English Summary/英文概要： Nine years on from his brilliant and bestselling Eating Animals, Jonathan Safran Foer returns, with singular and startling originality, to the subject of animal agriculture, this time within the wider context of potentially catastrophic climate change.

Asking first why so many people feel powerless to tackle – or even protest – the existential threat of the climate crisis, Jonathan proposes a radically simple analogy: imagine that we are living in wartime – what would we then do on the home front? And would we consider those kinds of things even ‘sacrifices’?

As all experts and commentators know – but not all are willing to acknowledge, animal agriculture’s role in the climate crisis is both central and multiple. The global population of cows alone produces 150 billion gallons of methane every day (the equivalent of filling up 9.4 billion cars per day) and methane is 25 times more harmful to the atmosphere than CO2. Animal agriculture drives deforestation on a mammoth scale, requires ever more astronomical amounts of water and power; pollutes our rivers and oceans; and destroys biodiversity. As JSF says: ‘We live on a farm’ – and our farming will help destroy us. What can we do? Jonathan Safran Foer suggests a simple answer. The good news is that it requires nothing close to a sacrifice, and we can all achieve it before dinnertime each day.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 乔纳森·萨夫兰·福尔的《食用动物》是一本才华横溢、畅销一时的著作。9年后，他以独特而惊人的独创性回到了动物农业的主题上，这次是在潜在灾难性气候变化的更大背景下。

首先，乔纳森提出了一个极其简单的类比:假设我们生活在战争时期，那么我们在国内会怎么做?我们会认为这些事情甚至是“牺牲”吗?

正如所有专家和评论家所知——但并非所有人都愿意承认，畜牧业在气候危机中扮演的角色既是核心的，也是多重的。仅全球牛的数量每天就产生1500亿加仑的甲烷(相当于每天94亿辆汽车的排量)，甲烷对大气的危害是二氧化碳的25倍。畜牧业推动了大规模的森林砍伐，需要更多天文数字的水和电力;污染我们的河流和海洋;和破坏生物多样性。正如乔纳森所说:“我们生活在一个农场里”——我们的农场将会帮助毁灭我们。我们能做什么?乔纳森·萨夫兰·福尔提出了一个简单的答案。好消息是，它不需要任何牺牲，我们都可以在每天晚饭前完成它。（WYL）
