Global Warming
- A 2006 United Nations study titled "Livestock's Long Shadow" said that livestock accounts for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions,
but a study by World Watch Institute three years later said the U.N. report failed to consider some of the factors, and put the figure at 51%.
- Even at the lower number of 18%, animal agriculture contributes more to global warming than all cars, trucks, trains, buses, airplanes, and ships combined—more than the entire transportation sector, which the EPA pegs at 14% globally.
