Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period. Scientists say that unless swift action is taken, methane from agriculture alone will take us beyond a 1.5C Past marketing drives run by the AHDB include the £3.5-million

In contrast to claims of natural gas’ low carbon intensity, the oil and gas industry often fails to appropriately manage its emissions of methane, a potent driver of climate change. We need to address global energy poverty – but the climate impacts of gas undermine this effort. New investments bring optimism.

Dairy is a serious, but under-discussed source of planet-warming gases. Cows produce methane, a greenhouse gas that absorbs more atmospheric heat than carbon and is currently responsible for 25 percent of all global warming today. Livestock methane emissions are also rising in some of these countries.
