                         2010, this article shows that climate change was framed as an 
                         energy problem although energy is a small part of the countrys 
                         emissions compared to emissions from land use change and 
                         agriculture. Linked to well over half of national emissions, meat 
                         production is the single largest cause of national emissions. Yet 
                         discussions of meat as a problem in the context of climate change 
                         were marginal, at best. During the years 2007-2008, only 0.14% of 
                         climate change-mentioning articles - 0.02% of the total word count 
                         of climate change-mentioning articles - were dedicated to meat as 
                         a problem in the context of climate change. Counting also passages 
                         in articles not dedicated to the topic, the word count only rose 
                         to 0.13% of the total word flow of the articles. To the extent 
                         that the topic of meat as a problem appeared, it was 
                         underdeveloped and approached in ways that reduced attention, 
                         concern, and agency on the part of Brazilians to steer the country 
                         towards a new, more sustainable development path. This paper 
                         presents these findings and offers a preliminary political 
                         economic explanation for its existence. RESUMO: Analisando a 
                         cobertura sobre o clima nos jornais brasileiros nos anos 2002 
                         at{\'e} 2010, este artigo mostra que a mudan{\c{c}}a 
                         clim{\'a}tica foi enquadrada como um problema de energia, apesar 
                         de ela ser uma pequena parte das emiss{\~o}es do pa{\'{\i}}s em 
                         compara{\c{c}}{\~a}o com as emiss{\~o}es de mudan{\c{c}}a no 
                         uso da terra e da agricultura. Enquanto a produ{\c{c}}{\~a}o de 
                         carne {\'e} a maior causa das emiss{\~o}es nacionais, 
                         discuss{\~o}es sobre a carne como um problema no contexto das 
                         altera{\c{c}}{\~o}es clim{\'a}ticas foram marginais, na melhor 
                         das hip{\'o}teses. Na medida em que apareceu, o tema da carne era 
                         subdesenvolvido e abordado de tal forma que reduziu a 
                         aten{\c{c}}{\~a}o, a preocupa{\c{c}}{\~a}o e o poder dos 
                         brasileiros para guiar o pa{\'{\i}}s para um novo caminho de 
                         desenvolvimento nacional mais sustent{\'a}vel. O artigo apresenta 
                         esses resultados e oferece uma explica{\c{c}}{\~a}o 
                         econ{\^o}mica e pol{\'{\i}}tica preliminar.",
