GOODLAND & ANFANG: accounting for methanogenic livestock and associated land use lifts annual GHG pollution from 42 Gt CO2-e to 64 Gt CO2-e (livestock contribution over 50%)

Robert Goodland and Jeff Anfang (2009): “When uncounted tons [due to methanogenic livestock and associated land use] are added to the global inventory of atmospheric GHG s, that inventory rises from 41,755 million [metric] tons [41.8 Gt CO2-e] to 63,803 million tons [63.8 Gt CO2-e]” (Robert Goodland and Jeff Anfang, “Livestock and climate change. What if the key actors in climate change are … cows, pigs and chickens?”, World Watch, November/December 2009: http://www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf ).
