New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing JBS USA, the world's largest producer of beef, over the company's emissions and for "greenwashing" by allegedly misleading the public about its environmental impact.
In an announcement, James noted that beef production has the largest greenhouse gas footprint of any major food commodity and that animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to James, JBS USA's various net-zero pledges for 2030 and 2040 are therefore misleading and "not feasible" given the scope of its worldwide beef production operations.
"As families continue to face the daily impacts of the climate crisis, they are willing to spend more of their hard-earned money on products from brands that are better for the environment," James said in a statement. "When companies falsely advertise their commitment to sustainability, they are misleading consumers and endangering our planet."
"JBS USA’s greenwashing exploits the pocketbooks of everyday Americans and the promise of a healthy planet for future generations," she added. "My office will always ensure that companies do not abuse the environment and the trust of hardworking consumers for profit."
The lawsuit was applauded by state Democrats and national climate advocacy organizations like Earthjustice, Mighty Earth, Friends of the Earth US, Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Stand.earth.
"JBS repeatedly claims that it will reach net zero by 2040. This claim was found to be misleading and yet JBS continues to assert it," said Peter Lehner, an attorney at Earthjustice. "While it is critical for every company to reduce its climate change impact, JBS would need to implement enormous operational changes to achieve this goal. However, JBS is doing very little and is not taking anywhere close to the steps that would be required."

New York State Constitution: "The Attorney General shall determine and set the temperature of the planet earth."
Doesn’t she have any real criminals to go after?
What efforts the U.S. puts into “net zero” will be made up by China in their increasing output of CO2. Are we willing to spank ourselves for the bad actions of another?
By the way, what is the annual limit of the billions of metric tons of CO2 needed to reach net-zero? Parts per million? To “turn back the clock” on climate change, we would need to eliminate today’s emissions (humans emit annually 35 billion tons) plus an enormous backlog. To reach 350 parts per million—the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide in 1988—humans would need to eliminate more than 500 billion tons in emissions. The elites who won’t do the math, will end up shooting humans to get what they want.
Now I’m wondering, is the Attorney General perpatrating a fraud?
Grazing livestock is good for biodiversity.
Virtue signaling families with money to burn who support this Arnold Diaz wannabe throw their money like that, not regular families.
95% of the CO2 on this planet comes from nature itself. Man contributes only 5%. Since the current level is only approx. 410 PPM, eliminating man’s contribution of 21 PPM will have absolutely no effect whatsoever.....
Reminding me, that eco-nuts do not consider:
From the perspective of air, a “farm of windmills” appears, and is dealt with, as a ridge - affecting where air “decides” to go . . . and air takes light creatures, and pollen, and seeds with it.
Their headquarters is in Colorado. Does the NY attorney general even have standing? If I was JBS USA CEO, NY would get no beef deliveries.
Taxis and buses in NY are more of a problem than all the cattle in the world...
Tish is not only mean and ugly, but also a psycho.

“If I was JBS USA CEO, NY would get no beef deliveries.”
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
They want to starve us.
“”JBS repeatedly claims that it will reach net zero by 2040.”
JBS shouldn’t have jumped on to this woke, climate change bandwagon to begin with and shouldn’t have made such a promise.
There might be a few, but most criminals aren't able to cough up hundreds of millions to pour into state coffers, especially when guilt is determined before the trials ever begin.
New York State has a law to be net zero by 2050. If they allow any cows to remain in the state, they’re committing fraud too.
