The meat industry is one of the leading causes of climate change. It produces more greenhouse emissions than all cars and other transport combined. According to ourworld.unu.edu more people choose to believe that transport produces more greenhouse emissions than does livestock.
Why are we allowing so much excess pollutant of greenhouse emissions in the air than there needs to be?
I read that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is a real and growing problem, and evidence prevails that the meat market is a large contributor, so why do we allow this to overflow?
A key fix that has been suggested is a meat tax that may lower meat consumption, weaken the excessive meat market, and, thus, provide a less polluted society.
