Animal Agriculture, the Leading Cause of Climate Change 
A new study shows that outdated carbon accounting methods have hidden the true impact of deforestation and methane emissions.
Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop, lead scientist at the World Preservation Foundation and study author, explains:
“A decision in the late 1980’s to treat carbon emissions differently, depending on their source, has seriously skewed climate science and policy.”
Key findings:
Cutting down forests has caused more CO2 emissions than fossil fuels since 1750. Methane from animal agriculture is a major driver of global warming, but has been downplayed. Fixing the way we measure emissions will help create better climate policies.

So this is also part of the truth behind the horror of animal agriculture. Here is a poultry farm where the sick animals live in horrible conditions and suffer torture and the people who work there are exploited and treated like slaves because ofCanada's Foreign Worker Program.
When you choose to eat animal products, you are eating sick, tortured animals processed by exploited workers, foreign or Canadian. It's a hellscape you don't have to participate in or pay for. Also congrats to CBC for actually doing their job!

"Bénédicte Carole Zé came to Canada in 2016 to work on a poultry farm after paying $10,000 in illegal recruitment fees for a job here. But once she arrived, she says she was forced to work 70- to 80-hour weeks for an employer who she alleges sexually abused her, controlled her banking and did not let her leave the house or have a cellphone, while threatening her with deportation if she complained."

All the hysteria about #bovaer is particularly ridiculous given that cattle feed in the UK can already legally be 0.15% plastic https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/15/legal-plastic-content-in-animal-feed-could-harm-human-health-experts-warn and dairy cattle are being fed all sorts of antibiotics for mastitis. It's so bizarre that everyone's up in arms about something actually well tested just because it's new, but don't just assume what cattle were eating already must be harmless.
