Milk's hidden carbon bill is bigger than advertised as damaged grass and soils drive emissions higher

Livestock farming causes a significant share of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. According to a new study, the carbon footprint of milk may be considerably larger than commonly calculated when carbon released from the soil is also considered. The work is published in The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment.

Ammonia pollution and air pollution in general blight lives and factory farming is an abomination from a welfare, environmental and infection risk perspective, but this is an extremely misleading headline from the Guardian. The study didn't find a correlation between ammonia concentration in tested air in areas with high factory farming density, it estimated the likely ammonia concentration in the air from the amount of animal waste generated. Sloppy reporting like this hurts our cause by making our concerns easily discreditable.
