Words by Sentient Media

The top twenty combined emit more than the entire country of Germany—and by 2050, meat and dairy emissions are predicted to occupy 80% of the emissions cap set to prevent the global temperature from rising more than 1.5°C.
Plus, only six of the 35 meat and dairy producers surveyed have set comprehensive goals to reduce their emissions. [GRAIN]
