Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period. Scientists say that unless swift action is taken, methane from agriculture alone will take us beyond a 1.5C Past marketing drives run by the AHDB include the £3.5-million

Coal’s grip on the global electricity sector is loosening as more utilities and companies invest in renewable energy. As a result, the industry accounts for roughly 8 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a toxic soup of air pollutants. Doing so is essential to limiting global warming to 1.5

These continuous changes result in increases in waste, emissions, resource depletion and high energy consumption. The emergence of environmental buzzwords started out with global warming, then became climate change. Terms such as climate change, climate crisis, carbon neutral, negative emissions, etc.

The study found that an alternative method of quantifying the impact of methane emissions has led to a raft of industry-friendly findings that the livestock sector seems to be using to claim climate neutrality as they continue to pollute. That’s why some experts have proposed an alternative approach called GWP* for talking about methane.

We need immediate action on energy. Without deep carbon pollution cuts now, the 1.5-degree Countries should also end all new fossil fuel exploration and production, and shift fossil fuel subsidies into renewable energy. We need to match our energy for climate action to the fierceness of our burning climate.
