Check out this rather interesting admission from a strong climate campaigner about the role of animals in agriculture and their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.

I am about the read the book that sparked this change of heart, But as interesting as this main claims are (that raising and eating animals in not always a negative thing, ecologically speaking), it demonstrates the need to be led by evidence, not ideology.
Oh, by the way, in case you meat lovers get too excited, I don't think this is a carte blanche argument supporting the current animal raising practices of large agribusiness.
But I will need to be clearer about the argument before I can really come to a justified conclusion.
