Indeed.
The number one reason for global warming is the greenhouse gases produced by factory-farmed animals. I think on some level everything might be linked.
That we torture lifelong, and slaughter innocent animals for many reasons: greed, addiction, lack of compassion, ignorance, and so on, is a message to humankind regarding 3D choice. Our 2nd-density brothers and sisters are other-selves as well. Do we choose to disregard other life forms and just use and abuse them for our own selfish reasons? In doing so, we are helping to destroy the planet on which we exist, or in the least, destroy part of it.
In addition, here is the definition of bellicose:
"demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight"
When eating animal products—even free range animals will fight at the end because they do not want to die when being slaughtered—one consumes the stress hormones of the animal. And factory-farmed animals have lived lives of torture. It seems obvious to me that consuming animals increases bellicosity in humans, and in turn, increases bellicosity on this planet.
