Meeting climate targets may require reducing meat, dairy consumption

Climate change has been a topic discussed over and over again. In the latest study from Chalmers University of Technology, they're exploring a possible cause that has yet to be addressed: dairy and meat consumption, The UN wants to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, but this may not be possible by just eliminating carbon dioxide emissions, because it turns out that's not the only issue. "Because agricultural emissions are difficult and expensive to reduce via changes in production methods or technology, these growing numbers of people, eating more meat and dairy, entail increasing amounts of climate pollution from the food sector". New technology and different food choices may help us see a better, less polluted, future without living in fear of constant climate change.
