The Truth of Greenhouse Gases

It's about time! Instead of continuing to turn the other cheek the livestock and dairy industries finally have a champion who tells it like it really is to the media. Michael Pollan beware, Frank Mitloehner has arrived on the scene and he's ready to tell the world the truth when it comes to the dairy industry and livestock operations contribution to the world's greenhouse gases. Contrary to a 2006 U.N. report which so many anti-meat activists like to quote stating that livestock was responsible for eighteen percent of world greenhouse gas emissions, Mitloehner's work and studies over the last ten years have culminated in a report that asserts the American beef and dairy industry accounts for only 2.7 of the world's greenhouse gases. That's a huge difference and one that consumers need to be made aware of. Like the fickle beast it is the media has started to change its tune when it comes to reports and grumblings claiming livestock and dairy industries as being destructive to the planet. Even the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization now agrees with Mitloehner's report stating that "American dairy farms have the world's lowest emissions".
