SHOCKING: Animal Agriculture Responsible For 87% Of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Says New Study

Animal agriculture is responsible for at least 87 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report. The Climate Healers position paper, by Dr. Sailesh Rao, has been published by the Journal of Ecological Society.

PBN Founder Klaus Mitchell had an exclusive interview with Dr. Sailesh Rao to discuss the paper and the impact on animal agriculture on our planet.

We just listened to this, mum brought me up a vegetarian and we turned vegan together when she was in her late 70's when we understood the cruelty to the cows in the dairy industry and the cruelty to the hens in the egg industry ... after we watched this mum, now in her 80's, said ...that young man is a good boy .. he's doing a lot of important work. I agree.

[HAHAWTFOMG]

My whole family went Vegan now. Thanks to me . and numbers are growing among us.

[CharlieBehrens]

This is simply THE most important message on earth at this time in history.

[willm]

Glad I’m vegan - don’t understand why people don’t see the messed up path we’re on?!

[hechss]

The % is astonishing.... Is this paper openly available somewhere? Is it peer-reviewed?

[bocajj]

Wtf 87% I always thought it was 15%, I wanna read the thing now that's a massive leap

[josephbilling]

This is one of those videos where you absolutely have to link to the paper in the description…

This fundamental bias in science he speaks of is not surprising given how things are. Hopefully there will be less of this bias as we continue to examine these issues further.

This is the single most important vid that PBN ( or anyone) has ever made, I’ve been sharing it repeatedly on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc, I thank this man for his study, the whole world owes him a debt of gratitude! 🌻🌎✊🏽

[stephani]

Not shocking, it’s truth and has been for a very very long time…..what’s shocking is that this info isn’t believed or it’s ignored…..

[bexie]

It seems to be getting higher each time.

[juliewake]

I was shocked as to how little emphasis had been placed on animal agriculture in the latest COP negotiations.

[ronaldwong]

Put a red methane collecting backpack on every cow (vedio) and farm animal. Zero Emissions.

[Weesson]

“What I’ve learned” and all his fans are not gonna like this 🤣😆🤣

[onlyscience]

What a great news for the energy industry....Agriculture is 10%

[cgbodytube]

Even people that should be helping to save the planet, you know, a relatively important position....corrupt af.

[ONeill]

FAO study is limited, it doesn't include opportunity cost of forest lost to animal agri that would of absorb GHG emissions, so the author Dr. Sailesh Rao is correct the figure is a lot higher than 14.5% even if we are tentative about the 87% figure

[Passingclouds]

We should see more vegan fast food restaurants. I am so glad that 80% of my food intake is vegan. The transition was so hard because I have always loved fruit and veges.

[Kiyarose]

Have shared on Twitter & Facebook, the world needs to know this, NOW! we need to not only end animal agriculture. But also Decentralise society so we can do away with the need for mass transportation, and build self reliance for food & water etc, that will provide better security in our communities, for the times ahead.

What this is missing from this study is the amount of carbon that gets locked into the soil from different agricultural management. Rather than ideology, try measuring the soil. Land that is used for grazing animals has twice the carbon locked into it than arable land used only for crops. Here we are talking about tons of carbon per hectare not parts per million that is measured in the atmosphere. Mostly I see people who don’t seem to know how to ask the right questions.
