‘Join the insect food revolution’ to fight ‘global warming’: ‘I eat bugs…Insects are the future of food and farming’
Dr. Jenny Josephs, a research psychologist, self described entomophagist and founder of the ‘The Bug Shack’ website, spoke at the TEDx Talk conference at the University of Southampton. Josephs promoted eating insects instead of livestock in order to fight climate change. Josephs promotes recipes for cooking bugs. See: RECIPES – INSECT COOKING BASICS
Josephs ([email protected]) told TEDx Talk that ‘insects are the future of food and farming.’ Josephs notes that ‘gram for gram insects are about 100 times better in terms of greenhouse gas emissions than beef.’
DR. JENNY JOSEPHS: “Hi, my name is Jenny Josephs and I eat bugs. Insects are way better for the environment than traditional livestock farming…
Cows are known for creating a lot of greenhouse gas emissions and that is obviously a serious problem. Insects on the other hand don’t have to eat much food. They are cold blooded, so they don’t have to use a lot of energy to heat themselves. That means they eat less food and they produce less manure. Gram for gram insects are about 100 times better in terms of greenhouse gas emissions than beef…
Insects do have to be cooked…So one of the things I like to do, it is a very easy way to cook them is to just marinate them in something like soy sauce or Cajun sauces and then braise them in the oven for just a few minutes. And then you can eat them just as they are or you can add them to something like a mix of nuts and seeds.
Via Jenny Josephs ‘BugShack webpage:
So I hope I’ve managed to convince you that insects are the future of food and farming. I hope you can come and try some of my insect snacks and join the insect food revolution.”

Prince Charles gives world reprieve: Extends ‘100-Month’ climate ‘tipping point’ to 35 more years
Prince Charles declared on July 18, 2015 that the world now has “just 35 years to save the planet” from “global warming”. But this new climate ‘tipping point’ marks a huge reprieve from Prince Charles original 100 month tipping point issued in 2009.
The 2015 UK Western Morning News interview with Charles revealed that “His Royal Highness warns that we have just 35 years to save the planet from catastrophic climate change.”
Charles extends climate doomsday deadline from months to 35 more years. (H/T to ‘Not A lot Of People Know That’ blog.)
But Prince Charles declared in 2009 that we had just 96 months to save the world from “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” (Note: Four months earlier in 2009, Charles had issued a ‘100-month’ tipping point deadline.)
A July 9, 2009 UK Independent article explained that “the heir to the throne told an audience of industrialists and environmentalists at St James’s Palace last night that he had calculated that we have just 96 months left to save the world.”
The upcoming skeptical climate documentary Climate Hustle will feature Prince Charles’ exclusive monthly ‘tipping point’ countdown. For a while, Prince Charles diligently kept to his monthly climate countdown.
“Be in no doubt that unless greenhouse gas emissions reach their peak within about 100 months–just 100 months–it may well be too late to stop temperatures rising beyond dangerous levels,” Charles originally declared in 2009.
And he stuck to his tipping point timeline.
“The grim reality is that our planet has reached a point if crisis and we have only seven years before we lose the levers of control,” he declared as the months ticked away.
In 2014, Prince Charles seemed to lose hope: “We are running out of time. How many times have I found myself saying this over recent years?”
Update: Wash. Times Features Climate Depot: Prince Charles extends climate doomsday deadline by 33 years: “The best projections tell us that we have less than 100 months to alter our behaviour before we risk catastrophic climate change,” the Prince of Wales said in a speech in Rio de Janeiro, as reported by the [U.K.] Telegraph. Four months later, he predicted in an interview with the [U.K.] Independent that the Earth had 96 months left to avoid “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with …
