A 2009 analysis of the famous FAO study on CO2 emission via animal agriculture shows that 51% of all human created greenhouse emissions come from farmed animals. This is a significant increase to the prior projection of 18% (which is still higher than the global transportation emissions: cars, planes, boats, trains etc).

See how these numbers reached:

I DONT CONSIDER MYSELF SUPERIOR FOR BEING VEGAN, IT IS BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF SUPERIOR THAT I AM A VEGAN -

I am vegan because I CARE because I am NOT selfish !! meat =murder=murder= violence

[purehermit]

Finding a way to live in peace with our fellow species on Earth would actually be "heaven," wouldn't it? Only evil people would not want this experience.

Go Vegan!!!!!!



[Devora Daniella]

I'm embedding this and putting it on my news feed!!! go vegan!

[mevsikov]

because News Media and pretty much all of the television and FM radio broadcasts are owned by big industries that invest in it, pays media with millions for advertising and pretty much at that point can regulate what is broadcasted and what is not, depending on their interest.and they have huge lobby groups, etc.

hope that was graphic enough. those suckers have huge influence and unless people start educating and speaking out publicly, and push our gov's, there isn't much that's going to be done

[Don Luan]

GO VEGAN  !!!

WHY IS THE NEWS MEDIA NOT REPORTING THIS WORLDWIDE? IT IS VITAL PEOPLE ARE TOLD FOR THEIR SURVIVAL

[Anjie Pham]

so true!

[MrSpecialop]

Yes it's worse than the CO2 emission from cars.. Also 1/3 of all the rainforrests have been cut down for producing animals for meat. Less trees = even more CO2.. If you hear anyone talking about Co2 but eat meat tell them to p... off..
