From the page: "... the overall CO2-equivalent emissions from all the cheeseburgers consumed in the US (assuming the average of 3/person is accurate) roughly equal the greenhouse output of 100,000 SUVs." This person decided to measure the footprint of a cheeseburger. Sources are cited, math is calculated, and the conclusion is drawn. Yet another example of how meat consumption is a great contributor to our current climate crisis. 100,000 SUVs! And this is only concerning beef! It doesn't even touch chicken, turkey, ham, etc. Just imagine!
