Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the fashion industry produces about 10 percent of global carbon emissions?

Partly. Two peer-reviewed sources state the fashion industry accounts for about 10% (or 8–10%) of global greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the claim, while another peer-reviewed source reports the figure as 4% of the global total, contradicting it. A further source confirms the industry's significant emissions but gives no percentage.
