🌍 Animal Agriculture, the Leading Cause of Climate Change 🌱
A new study shows that outdated carbon accounting methods have hidden the true impact of deforestation and methane emissions.
Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop, lead scientist at the World Preservation Foundation and study author, explains:
“A decision in the late 1980’s to treat carbon emissions differently, depending on their source, has seriously skewed climate science and policy.”
🔎 Key findings:
✅ Cutting down forests has caused more CO2 emissions than fossil fuels since 1750.
✅ Methane from animal agriculture is a major driver of global warming, but has been downplayed.
✅ Fixing the way we measure emissions will help create better climate policies.
