Greenhouse gas emissions from the way humans consume food could add nearly one degree of warming to the Earth’s climate by 2100, according to a new study Monday, March 6, 2023. Researchers found that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from three major food groups — meat from animals like cows, sheep and goats, dairy and rice. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee, File)
