World is overlooking climate change effects of eating meat, says new report

2014-12-04 19:12:40| Livestock - Topix.net

A new report reveals most consumers aren't aware that the meat and livestock industry is a bigger source of global carbon emissions than transport - and that's even when air travel and shipping are included in the transport figures! However, the report, titled Livestock - Climate Change's Forgotten Sector , also found that consumers were more willing to reduce their meat consumption once they better understood the impacts, giving hope that awareness campaigns could work towards reducing the meat and dairy industries' contribution to global warming.
