The main greenhouse gas from agriculture, methane, has over the years been incorrectly characterized as if it would behave in the same way in our atmosphere as other climate pollutants do. It turns out, this has been a major mistake, much to the detriment of animal agriculture. This presentation will describe how to actually quantify warming impacts of greenhouse gases and why this information is critical to move animal agriculture on a path to climate neutrality.
