how does shipping and air travel compare? I think they dwarf animal ag
- myshpa 3y agoAnimal ag is not just emissions, though ... it's much bigger beast. Also deforestation, biodiversity loss, eutrophication, soil erosion, water overconsumption, zoonotic diseases, overfishing, reforestation potential of pastures ... Estimates of just emissions from animal ag are somewhere between 14.5-26%. All transport is 16.2% (road 11.9%, aviation 1.9%, shipping 1.7%, rail 0.4%). https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36980531 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36980531
