This new paper lays out 3 key reasons why animal agriculture has a greater impact on climate change than fossil fuels. The paper is authored by Dr. Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop, a climate scientist who has worked for Australia's Queensland government. and is also the head of the World Preservation Foundation. You can read the paper here:

While very complex, as climate science can be, the paper basically argues that there are 3 areas where climate impacts are currently being miscalculated. To fix it, Dr. Wedderburn-Bisshop recomments 3 adjustments, listed just below,
"-Consistent accounting of both land clearing carbon and fossil carbon.
-Using Effective Radiative Forcing to compare gases, rather than time-dependent Global Warming Potentials.
-Including all emissions, whether heating or cooling."
Please watch the video to better understand these 3 areas of concern.
