I’m surely getting downvotes from flagrant meat eaters. 😂
Brb killing the neighbor couple, they also seem like a source of delicious meals. /s
The IPCC, FAO (UN), and the World Resources Institute put emissions from (all) agriculture at around 20%-25% of total emissions.
This article cites a single paper in opposition, which claims that emissions from animal agriculture are more than double that number. I don’t have the time or expertise to comb through that paper with a critical eye, but the reports of the above organizations cite dozens of studies in support of their figures, so the weight of evidence is tilting heavily towards the 20% figure.
This isn’t to say that animal agriculture isn’t an issue - it’s a huge issue, and not just for the climate. But I think it’s important to acknowledge that these emissions numbers aren’t widely accepted.
