This week, world-renowned climate physicist Professor Myles Allen delivered a thought-provoking lecture at Gresham College titled “Does Net Zero Mean the End of Livestock Agriculture?” His answer: no — provided we get the science, and the metrics, right.
In a clear, data-backed presentation, Professor Allen challenged the widespread assumption that methane from livestock farming must be eliminated in a net zero world. Instead, he argued that this narrative is based on outdated climate metrics and a misunderstanding of how different greenhouse gases behave.
