The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
in the United States today the estimate for all of agriculture in the United States today is about 9% of our anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are coming from agriculture and if you look at just livestock act culture you're looking at approximately 4%
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from industry and technology I mean like 70 plus percent
greenhouse gas emission sources beef cattle 1.9 total us us greenhouse gas emissions in 2016. that's ruminants that's other livestock these are agricultural crops even more greenhouse gas emissions transportation industry electricity generation way up here this is from an epa report in 2016
plant agriculture is 4.5 so plant agriculture is more than all animal agriculture combined
even between plant and animal agriculture you're only at about nine or ten percent that means 90 of the greenhouse gas emissions in this country come from things like transportation technology electricity generation and um burning of fossil fuels
so about 90 of greenhouse gas emissions are non-agriculture right we all have to eat there has to be some ecosystem around food but only 10 of greenhouse gases come from food
90 of greenhouse gases come from things that we're doing that are lifestyle driven right cars burning fossil fuel technology like just to i i just wanted to make sure you're aware of this data because when people make statements like that they're eating plant-based for the environment i kind of bristle and think that's a mistake from all the data that i've seen
outside of agriculture so plant agriculture is about five percent of greenhouse gas emissions per year in the us animal agriculture is about four percent of that
tell me again how red meat is causing climate change when there are 1.9 percent of u.s greenhouse gas emissions in according to this epa report
