The IPCC greenhouse gas emissions accounting conventions are political and they have been influenced by vested interests, just as school text books have been influenced by vested interests in our political system.
Joseph Stalin said that is not important who will vote or how, but it is
extraordinarily important who will count the votes and how. The same is true
for greenhouse gas emissions accounting.
Lifecycle or “cradle-to-grave” emissions accounting, taking into account
opportunity costs and opportunity benefits, would illuminate a path to
solving climate change, if there exists one. Systems engineers routinely use
such accounting methods to evaluate potential solutions to problems. Using
such emissions accounting, the Climate Healers position paper reached the
conclusion that animal agriculture is responsible for at least 87% of
greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis.
Unfortunately, in its Summary for Policy Makers, the UN Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) uses a set of peculiar greenhouse gas
emissions accounting conventions that obfuscate rather than illuminate
solutions to climate change.
Since the IPCC is actually a governmental body, these IPCC greenhouse gas emissions accounting conventions are political and they have been influenced by vested interests, just as school text books have been influenced by vested interests in our political system.
As Dr. John McDougall points out, there are 4 deadly dietary deceptions that get drilled into our heads in this system. This begins when we are school children, no matter where we live on planet Earth – the first two can be found in the sixth grade scholastic science text book that Kimaya uses today/
