Its authors state the
case explicitly — «Agriculture, through meat production, is one
of the main contributors to
greenhouse gases and thus has a potential
impact on climate change» — and anticipate that it will take «a long campaign... and incentives to meat producers and consumers» to change what and how we eat.
The model, however, assumes the worst -
case scenario
of greenhouse gas emissions, offering hope that if emissions are curbed, the
impact would be reduced.
