"NY Attorney General Takes Legal Action Against JBS Over Climate Claims"
New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing JBS USA, the world's largest beef producer, for allegedly misleading the public about its environmental impact and making "not feasible" net-zero pledges for 2030 and 2040, given the scale of its worldwide beef production operations. The lawsuit has been applauded by state Democrats and national climate advocacy organizations, while JBS USA has expressed disagreement with the action. This comes as environmental groups and lawmakers worldwide increasingly focus on the agriculture industry's impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
