Err this isn't practically true.

Yes, you can excrete protein in urine, but it's usually not in healthy people. And it's not how you want to get rid of excessive protein.

More often it's turned to body fat, it's very easy for your body to covert protein to fat.

Try adding six scoops of protein powder to your diet every day. Guarantee you'll put on heaps of body fat. You won't be peeing it out, unless there's something terribly wrong with you.

Yes, and again, if eating adequate calories from a variety of sources, it's nearly impossible to be deficient in protein. That means all the essential amino acids. Pretty much every plant-based food contains all the essential amino acids, it's not hard getting them.

That's why "protein deficiency" diseases are nearly non-existent in people eating sufficient quantities of food.

When your daily life becomes smoke-fill heatwaves, flooding, or similar climate-fueled disasters with failing electricity - yeah, what they've been telling us to do will be easy peasy.

And yes, I live it. Vegan over 35yrs, I don't drive or travel, and consume very little/ I've sent one trash bag to the landfill in the last half decade. I'm actually quite happy, because it's not all that shit in your life that brings happiness. That's the biggest lie of all.

You failed to read Canada's boreal forests are larger than the EU, and without roads.

No one's ever 'cared' for the vast majority of these forests, and no one's ever lived in them either.

The fucking planet is too hot, and what were fairly cool and damp forests are now turning into tinder sticks.

The 'greens' have been lobbying for decades to stop and reverse global warming. It's people like you trying extremely hard to ignore reality that makes any progress impossible. Because you insist it's a park that isn't being raked.

Are soundproof rooms in homes commonplace?

I've lived in very quiet neighbourhoods of Victoria, BC most of my adult life (since 1994). In the last decade, I moved to Vancouver for 3yrs, and the thing that stood out most to me was the traffic noise.

You couldn't escape it. I was always pretty central in the city, with major roadways within a few blocks. There was always that noise in the background, day and night.

That said, I don't know how you can separate the impacts of pollution from noise, since in a city environment they go hand in hand.

A quiet, non-traffic neighbourhood is inherently going to have less pollution than a neighbourhood with major traffic in all directions around it. You could probably 'discover' that lung cancer has a connection with noise in this instance. (Or inhaling..haha)

I don't think the noise is great for our health either, but seems more likely pollution would be a culprit, if there actually is a correlation.
