The UN came out with a report that said livestock was responsible for 17% of overall greenhouse gasses and that was already a shocker and an important reason for everyone to give up meat immediately to halt climate change. 30% is nearly double what the UN said. So, I don't know why our government and the environmentalists are still so stuck on promoting their electric vehicles and completely ignoring the big elephant in the room.
