      Methane accounts for around 16% of greenhouse gas emissions and not all of that is from animal agriculture.

      "Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use" accounts for 24% of total emissions. 11% of total emissions are CO2 from the "Forestry, and Other Land Use" part. So at worst agriculture emissions (including plant ag) accounts for 13% of global emissions.

      Compared to 76% of total emissions being CO2 (including the above mentioned 11%), it is a small fraction.

      actual torture

      I literally don't care. Milking a cow isn't rape, meat isn't murder, blah blah blah.

        Meat is literally murder and milking is rape but that if we want to halt climate change at all we have to take everything in account and i cant see where that site takes in account the pollutants what agriculture and especcially all the waste and toxins it releases to our waters wich in turn accelerates the unavoidable destruction of our environment

        You’re literally torturing and killing a sentient being because you think they taste good. Meat is murder.
