Not eating beef will not reduce your "carbon emmisions" (except for transport etc, which would presumably be substituted). They will reduce your "greenhouse gas emissions" though.
- davedx 10y agoMethane is a carbon molecule
- tehwalrus 10y agoBut a combustible, rather than an oxidised, one. Incidentally, while searching for a reference to the assertion that CO2 is and methane is not included in a carbon footprint, I found the opposite: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint (Methane emmisions are expressed in terms of the equivalent CO2 effect and added with actual CO2, the unit is then written as CO2e.) My original quibble is therefore much less important.
