The meat and dairy industry is not 'climate neutral', despite some eye-catching claims

They then pour a little less gas and want credit for doing so, despite still feeding the fire.

Key Points: 
  • They then pour a little less gas and want credit for doing so, despite still feeding the fire.
  • Yet that is more or less what some influential supporters of the livestock industry have done.
  • For example, one study claims that the US dairy industry could reach climate neutrality by 2050 through reducing its annual methane emissions by just 1%-1.5%.
  • That methane is a product of the digestion processes in cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, emitted when they belch.
  • In a paper now published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, my co-author Donal Murphy-Bokern and I argue that these claims represent a distorted understanding of the science.
  • There’s a risk that they could be used for greenwashing and undermining confidence in this area of climate science.

Changing definitions and climate metrics

  • That’s why in 2018 some academics introduced a new metric called GWP* to better represent the warming impact over time.
  • This risks undermining climate science by confusing businesses, consumers and policy makers.
  • These recent climate neutral claims distract us from the urgent challenge of reducing emissions of all greenhouse gases from all sectors, including agriculture.
  • He told The Conversation: “Reaching climate neutrality is a good goal to have, but it doesn’t have to be the last goal.
