WORST

The countries with the worst production of greenhouse gases are those with heavy cattle, sheep and pig production, says a UN environmental report. These include Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia,
Canada, and the US. This UN report urges vegan diet for the world. Brazil's cattle production is doubly bad since it involves destruction of the rainforest.
