Letter to Public Citizen News about Global Warming from Frank and Mary Hoffman - 22 May 2008

To: [email protected]

Re: Public Citizen News, May-June 2008 issue: �Fuel Economy Proposal Lags Behind World,� page 4

The following statement is erroneous:

�It is true that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from the combustion of motor fuels ��

Please publish correction:

�Worldwide, livestock generates more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined (18 percent vs. 13 percent).

From:

UN News Centre: 29 November 2006: �Rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars, UN report warns�

�Cattle-rearing generates more global warming greenhouse gases, as measured in CO2 equivalent, than transportation�.�

�Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today�s most serious environmental problems,� senior UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) official Henning Steinfeld said. �Urgent action is required to remedy the situation.�

Thank you,

Mary T. Hoffman
