A spokesperson for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation told PolitiFact Gates has never said anything about cows producing more pollution than cars. Although a representative for Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not return a request for comment, we could not find any public remarks or written statements similar to the claim in the Facebook post made by the congresswoman.
However, both have talked in the past about the link between the agriculture industry and climate change.in October 2021 detailing the need to make green technologies more affordable and accessible than their carbon-emitting counterparts. He mentioned in the report that livestock contributed 6% of global greenhouse gas emissions while passenger cars emitted 7%.
Gates has also previously talked about the possibility of developed nations transitioning entirely toto help reduce the need for livestock, thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Ocasio-Cortez briefly came under fire in 2019 when an FAQ shared by her office regarding the Green New Deal, a proposed resolution she co-sponsored to help address climate change, included a line about
"We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast," the FAQ said.The resolution also mentioned the need to transition from fossil fuels toSimilar to Gates, Ocasio-Cortez has also advocated for the need to eat less meat and dairy products as a way to help address climate change.

Good thing 100 million buffalo dont run across the plains any longer.
But they did say cows are a problem
Politifact is a joke Ocasio-Cortez explains ‘farting cows’ comment: ‘We’ve got to address factory farming’
PollutiFact is fakenews.
Regardless, Gates made the choice in 2019 to single out cow flatulence when referencing the 24% greenhouse gas contribution from agriculture...no other agriculture source mentioned... that's on him...
False
Hell why don’t u check how much farm land gates has bought and what the hell does he need it for, other than to screw with the food supply at some point in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Over 1/4 million acres why
Oh! The very idea that Gates or Ocasio Cortez would say something untrue!
No one is listening to either one of them.
