We will continually update this list with further resources as they become available - GREENHOUSE GASES - Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation. The statistics used in the film were based on the best information we had available while producing the film. The science and research done on the true impacts of animal agriculture is always growing.
