Small reductions to meat production in wealthier countries may help fight climate change, new analysis concludes

Scientists and environmental activists have consistently called for drastic reductions in meat production as a way to reduce emissions and, in doing so, combat climate change. However, a new analysis concludes that a smaller reduction, borne by wealthier nations, could remove 125 billion tons of carbon dioxide -- exceeding the total number of global fossil fuel emissions over the past three years -- from the atmosphere.
