TL;DR Summary

Meat and dairy companies are making bold claims about producing climate-friendly products, sparking a heated debate. While some companies are promoting eco-friendly agricultural techniques and making audacious claims about carbon neutrality, the extent to which these claims are true is hotly disputed. Critics argue that the data supporting these claims is poor and that regulators are not adequately addressing misleading marketing. The fight over how to calculate carbon footprints has shifted to an organization called the GHG Protocol, and new laws in California are requiring companies to be more transparent about emissions. However, there are concerns that the introduction of carbon-neutral branding may invite other companies to make similar claims at a time when regulators are ill-equipped to assess them.
