[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7317807, member: 76758"] [I]In fact, all red meat and dairy only contributes around 5% of all UK greenhouse gas emissions.* [/I] You say 'around', but that's quite a precise figure. Why not 'around 2%', or 'around 10%' ? Two questions then: 1) Can you show us the maths ? Not the detail, just the broad calculations you used to get to that figure. 2) What are the figures for the other sectors you represent ? You must have calculated them; you couldn't get to that figure of 5% for red meat and dairy without coming up with a formula and applying it to everything else you represent. Can you provide them for, for example: Top fruit. Soft fruit. Veg Cereals (inc maize) Sugar beet pigs Poultry. whatever I have missed off. By your calculations, what are their contributions to total UK GHG emissions ? You can't just stop at red meat and dairy being 5%. In for a penny and all that. Lets blame ourselves for as high a figure as we can get to. [/QUOTE]
