Greenhouse gases are generated at every stage of livestock production. Animal wastes and the digestive process emit methane, which scientists say can warm the planet 34 times faster than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. Note: Methane is more than 70x more powerful of a greenhouse gas than CO2 over 20 years and it has a much shorter half-life, so reducing meat is all the more important. awfw.org/climate
