A new study has shown a number of academic papers have made misleading claims regarding #methane emissions and pollution from the animal agriculture industry.
Published in Environmental Research Letters, the article points out that these so-called "climate neutral" claims are too good to be true. The study found that an alternative method of quantifying the impact of methane emissions (GWP100 vs. GWP*) has led to a number of industry-friendly findings that the livestock sector seems to be using to claim climate neutrality as they continue to pollute the planet.
