Photos I shot in 2022 for DeSmog capture damage from extreme weather events and the continued expansion of the fossil fuel industry — the dominant industry causing global warming. Industries reliant on methane gas continue to expand their footprint, despite bipartisan discussions about the need to develop climate solutions.

Climate change refers to a broad array of environmental degradation that is predicted to result from increasing levels of atmospheric CO2, including global warming , alterations in precipitation, sea level changes, and more extreme weather events. One of the most important things we can do is to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Meat emits around a third of global emissions of methane, and action to cut this greenhouse gas has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to slowing global heating. Farming also relies on synthetic fertilisers that are both fossil-fuel-based and emit greenhouse gases, and drives deforestation.

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 It’s really about production at the end of the day.”

Draft text published this morning requests countries update their NDCs next year and retains calls to tackle fossil fuels, but negotiations over climate finance and other areas still unresolved. It also retains references to tackling emissions from fossil fuels, albeit with caveats.

Food systems are responsible for at least 15 percent of all global fossil fuel consumption, according to a major report launched ahead of the COP28 climate summit. Its authors found that even if governments delivered on their 2030 climate pledges, by 2037 food-related fossil fuel use alone would blow the remaining portion of the 1.5C

The curbing of emissions to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the environment. Commonly known as soot, it is formed from wildfires and fossil fuel consumption and contributes to climate change. It is the first to explicitly reference reduction of unabated coal usage.
