We look at points 4 and 5 made in “Livestock and Climate Change,” by Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang. We also look at the political implications of the reception of this article; the FAO is clearly being manipulated by the meat and dairy industries.

I have revised this video ever so slightly. In the original video, I describe how the FAO downgraded their estimate of the emissions from livestock to 14.5%, and then announced a partnership with the International Meat Secretariat. I had these events flipped: first the FAO announced their partnership with the meat and dairy industries, then they downgraded their estimate. This sequence of events is even more incriminating, because the change in their scientific outlook now appears to be a consequence of their new political alignment.
