[Breitbart] Former President Barack Obama warned the world that more people on the planet were eating meat, causing a dramatic rise in climate emissions."As people want to increase meat consumption, that in turn is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sector," Obama said, pointing to countries that were consuming more meat.
The former president shared his views about the growing threat during a conversation about food with his former chef Sam Kass at a food innovation summit in Milan.
"People aren’t as familiar with the impact of cows and methane," Obama said, adding that "as people want to increase more meat consumption, that in turn is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sectors."
The amount of cows, Obama explained, were contributing to global pollution, alluding to the amounts of methane gas emissions from cow herds.
