Climate Strike & Animal Agriculture
A panel of vegan/animal rights activists, who have attended the climate strike events, talk about how their message has been received by the greater environmental community. Teenage Nobel Prize nominee Greta Thunberg's shifting focus is also a topic. Why isn't she talking about animal agriculture's devastating impact on the climate and massive contribution to climate change? Why do some studies say animal ag contributes 14.5% to climate change, while more recent studies have said 51%. What about the new white paper that says animal agriculture is responsible for at least 87% of greenhouse gas emissions? If that's correct, could the environmental movement be pointing in the wrong direction? Could a mistake that misidentifies the biggest cause of climate change be catastrophic?
