Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Raising more cows and eating more beef would save the planet because cattle are carbon negative.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Scientific research shows that most cattle operations are net greenhouse gas emitters. While plants on grazing land absorb some carbon dioxide, they generally do not offset methane and other emissions produced by cattle, making the claim inaccurate.
