Animal Protection More Compelling than Climate Protection
Meat production causes climate-harming CO2 emissions. Furthermore, many animals suffer under livestock conditions. A meat tax could lower consumption and the money could be used, for example, to improve conditions. A new study by Grischa Perino and Henrike Schwickert from Universität Hamburg reveals how the population responds to this idea.
