Do daily food choices impact global warming?
The short answer is… Yes! A very significant impact. Can this be reversed? Yes, much the same way that the dirty fossil fuels negative impact is being slashed by the clean energy transition.
According to Ember, an independent analysis firm that relies on “data-driven insights” to assess where countries stand in their transition to clean energy from fossil fuels, “half of the world is past a peak in fossil power,” and 78 of these economies “have displaced fossil power with clean energy.”

What we eat is quickly becoming a frontline battle in our effort to stay below 1.5ºC. The US food system amounts to 9 gigatons of CO2e (GtC) each year, roughly 15 percent of the annual greenhouse gases emitted in the US. This is more than the greenhouse gas pollutants of the entire transportation industry, including every car, bus, train, and plane that relies on fossil fuel. At the center of the heated debate, about what we can put in our mouths to lower our food system CO2e, is the cow.

Human civilization evolved during the most stable climate conditions in the history of the Earth. Scientists refer to this era as The Holocene Epoch, a period of global temperature variations rising and falling between +/-1ºC, but never exceeding the +1ºC. This stability provided more than ten thousand years of reliable four seasons and predictable weather patterns.

For all of us climate warriors who are giving our 120 percent to educate the public on how to reduce our carbon footprints in our homes as well as our communities, which will result in lowering our atmospheric carbon level and curbing global warming, it seems as though we might know the ideal strategy that will help overcome the chronic border crossing challenge. After all, we’ve been posting and protesting about this for years.
