Livestock and Climate Change: What if the key actors in climate change are...cows, pigs, and chickens?
The environmental impact of the lifecycle and supply chain of animals raised for food has been vastly underestimated, and in fact accounts for at least half of all human-caused greenhouse gases (GHGs), according to Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang, co-authors of "Livestock and Climate Change".
A widely cited 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, Livestock's Long Shadow, estimates that 18 percent of annual worldwide GHG emissions are attributable to cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, camels, pigs, and poultry. But recent analysis by Goodland and Anhang finds that
livestock and their byproducts actually account for at least 32.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, or
51 percent of annual worldwide GHG emissions.____________________________
So I think
all transportation, cars, trucks trains, planes combined is around 18%, and raising animals for slaughter is 51%...isn't it amazing the things tv keeps us from finding out about.
Lol, that's hidden like
HR676 gets hidden in the fake "health care battle" on tv.
