Welcome to Rising Anxieties.

And our first story today that I want to talk about is from sentient media.

And this is something that you know about, but very few people do.

Meat is a leading emission source, but few outlets report on it analysis finds.

And this is this whole analysis of a bunch of, like hundreds of different stories from sentient media,

that reveals that less than 4% of climate news stories

mention animal agriculture as a source of carbon emissions.

This is by Joe Fasler.

And I guess it doesn't surprise most of us.

You know, we've heard that before.

It starts up by saying that food and agriculture,

not separating out meat-based agriculture, contribute one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions,

and that's second only to the burning of fossil fuels.

And yet the vast majority of media coverage does not include farming.

And the findings suggested only about a quarter of climate articles in 11 major U.S.

outlets, including the Guardian, New York Times, others, mentioned food and agriculture as a cause.

And only 3.8% mentioned animal agriculture or meat production, which is by far.

I think up to 60% of the emissions of the food sector.

You know, this isn't an article that's shocking you.

I know that.
