livestock warms the planet more than transport.
Personally I don't think warming the planet has least if anything to do with humans and certainly not animals. It's about polluting the environment particularly in the cities and industrial areas. I would rather walk thru acres of cows than acres of city or industry fumes.
The whole report is based on the fact that ruminants eat grain and grain has it's own carbon price, well in this country 99% of cows and sheep are not grain fed, they are pasture fed. The rest, probably less than 1% are specially fed for the niche Japanese market that prefers grain fed beef.
Keeping animals caged indoors and siphoning off gas is considered a humane answer ? Ours are range free animals, none of them are barned.
All vegetarian creatures fart, it won't be long before humans in this PC world are paying a fart tax and extractors installed in homes to measure it !
I'm all for keeping the environment free and clean but in my opinion this carbon trend is just another rip-off that replaced the Y2K computer scam.
Looks like some governments and self publicising scientists like to keep us worried about something, this is the latest.
In a 100 years time looking back, history will label us gullible morons.
