More proof that meat production harms the planet

Here's an article from the Independent that says C02 emissions from the meat industry are even higher than previously thought:

It's important to stress that it's not necessary to go completely meat-free, but rather to reduce meat consumption. I've never claimed, as some vegetarians do, that eating meat is wrong or evil. It is, however, very bad for the planet, and in some forms very bad for your health. Like all things that are bad for the planet it's not a case of No, Never, Nothing, just less. That must be the message of environmentalists.
