As far as the environment, this is also well-known and is also not disputed except among those in control of meat, poultry, and dairy industries.
This is just one source among many, but it gives a good snapshot of the resource allocation for animal agriculture:
One pound of beef takes 2500 gallons of water, eggs 477 gallons of water, and cheese nearly 900 gallons. A really terrifying fact about burning too many fossil fuels as the leading cause of climate change is they all load up the atmosphere and the greenhouse effect makes the temperatures soar at a rate that has never existed in the entire history of the earth. 82% of the world's starving children live in countries where food is fed to animals in livestock and then sold to wealthier and developed countries. Animal agriculture produces 65% of the world's nitrous oxide emissions which has a global warming impact 296 times greater than carbon dioxide.
Raising livestock for human consumption generates nearly 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, which is greater than all the transportation emissions combined. It also uses nearly 70% of agricultural land which leads to being the major contributor to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and water pollution.
Ending our meat and dairy production could pause the growth of greenhouse gas emissions for 30 years, a new study suggests. All we need to do is adapt to a plant-based food system.

LOL. I knew that's where your comment was leading.
Did you not hear, though, they did another study and found out the vaccines protect against climate change?
Instead of getting a booster every 2 months, like they are now recommending, think of how much faster you'll be able to save the planet if you get one every month instead.
Now, spread the word and get everyone else onboard too. If those people are unwilling to comply, you can call them anti-vaxxer climate change deniers, or AVCCD's for short.
Just think, you'll be well known for creating a new acronym and a hero among your peers!
