Today’s video:

According to a major investigation by DeSmog, the global meat industry is “borrowing tactics from tobacco companies” and following the example set by fossil fuel giants to “confuse and delay regulation” regarding their planet-destroying ways.

The five-month-long investigation included a comprehensive review of hundreds of documents and statements by meat industry companies and trade associations.

The research showed that major industry players were even going as far as to actively portray themselves as climate leaders by:

- Downplaying the impact of livestock farming on the climate and casting doubt on the efficacy of alternatives to meat to combat climate change.

- Promoting the 'health benefits of meat' while overlooking the industry’s environmental footprint.

- Exaggerating the potential of agricultural innovations to reduce the livestock industry’s ecological impact.
