Opinion: Meat industry’s dubious claims of sustainability at COP28

The inconvenient truth is that animal agriculture, particularly the production of red meat, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.The livestock sector, responsible for a staggering 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, is a massive contributor to climate change. The methane emitted by livestock, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, poses a severe threat to our climate stability.The meat industry’s argumen...
