At the end of November more than 1,000 wild horses and their families were rounded up and removed from our federal lands in Oregon to make room for private cattle interests.

Cowspiracy co-director Keegan Kuhn responds to criticisms of the film. 

In December world leaders are scheduled to come together with the aim to unite all the world’s nations in a single agreement on tackling climate change, with the goal of capping warming at 2C levels.

By now you have heard that on Monday of this week, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), released a report that definitively stated that processed meat causes cancer, and that red meat, including beef, pork and lamb, probably causes cancer, too.

Climate change stands to affect all life on this planet. Monster storms, raging wildfires, record droughts, melting ice caps, acidification of the oceans, even entire countries going underwater – that could all be caused by the burden of human beings on the Earth.
