Meat-Eaters Aiding Global Warming?
ABC News
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, April 19, 2006: Your personal impact on global warming may
be influenced as much by what you eat as by what you drive. That conclusion
comes from a couple of scientists who have taken an unusual look at the
production of greenhouse gases from an angle that not many people have thought
about. Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin, assistant professors of geophysics at the
University of Chicago, and both vegetarians, have found that our consumption of
red meat may be as bad for the planet as it is for our bodies. If you want to
help lower greenhouse gas emissions, they conclude in a report to be published
in the journal Earth Interactions, become a vegetarian. Eshel and Martin
collected data from a wide range of sources, and they examined the amount of
fossil-fuel energy--and thus the level of production of greenhouse
gasses--required for five different diets. The vegetarian diet turned out to be
the most energy efficient, followed by poultry, and what they call the "mean
American diet," which consists of a little bit of everything. In terms of
energy required for harvesting and processing, fish and red meat ended up in a
tie for last place, but that's just in terms of energy consumed. When you add
in all the those other factors, such as bovine flatulence and gas released by
manure, red meat comes in dead last. Fish remains in fourth place, some
distance behind poultry and the mean American diet, chiefly because the type of
fish preferred by Americans requires a lot of energy to catch.
