Claim: Burping cows are more damaging to the climate than all the cars on this planet.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Many citizens of countries like the United States and Canada who drive personal cars often, see well over half of their climate change impact stemming from the emissions produced from their cars.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: For richer people, emissions tend to be associated with things such as eating beef, cars, frequent flying, and home heating.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Most environmentally related taxes with implications for greenhouse gas emissions in OECD countries are levied on energy products and motor vehicles, rather than on CO2 emissions directly.

Passage: The Moon may have dramatically affected the development of life by moderating the planet's climate.

Passage: Our Changing Sun: The Role of Solar Nuclear Evolution and Magnetic Activity on Earth's Atmosphere and Climate.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has estimated that agriculture (including not only livestock, but also food crop, biofuel and other production) accounted for about 10 to 12 percent of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (expressed as 100-year carbon dioxide equivalents) in 2005 and in 2010.Cows produce some 570 million cubic metres of methane per day, that accounts for from 35 to 40% of the overall methane emissions of the planet.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Compared to plant milks, cow's milk requires the most land and water, and its production results in the greatest amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air pollution, and water pollution.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Boucher's review concludes: "Movies like Cowspiracy aren’t believable, not only because of how they twist the science, but also because of what they ask us to believe: that the fossil fuel industry—the ExxonMobils of the world—aren’t the main cause of global warming... and that thousands of scientists have covered up the truth about the most important environmental issue of our time.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Greenhouse gases, specifically from livestock, are one of the leading sources furthering global warming; these emissions, which drastically effect climatic change, are also beginning to harm our livestock in ways we could never imagine.

Passage: "The Worst Climate Pollution Is Carbon Dioxide".

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Global warming is the greatest cause of impact to the environment.

Passage: "Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock".

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Livestock contributes to climate change both through the production of greenhouse gases and through destruction of carbon sinks such as rain-forests.
