Methane Emissions

Climate Change

World’s biggest meat and dairy companies spend more on ads than cutting emissions

— Despite being major polluters, global meat and dairy companies invest minimally in emission reduction, spending more on marketing and lobbying. Their climate targets are often misleading, failing to meet UN guidelines.

Meat and dairy industry’s attempt to change how we measure methane emissions would let polluters off the hook

— Major polluting industries lobbied at COP28, aiming to use a new emissions measurement method to avoid substantial cuts. This new way of measuring emissions may let the biggest polluters evade their responsibility to tackle climate change.

Rising methane could be a sign that Earth’s climate is part-way through a ‘termination-level transition’

— The last time methane in the air rose so fast, Greenland warmed by 10°C within decades. Methane levels in the atmosphere are now rising fast, similar to past climate changes. This could lead to a ‘termination-level transition’ and make it harder to limit global warming.
