Carnegie Mellon studies how climate change impacts food production

<snip>

Carnegie Mellon researchers Christopher L. Weber and H. Scott Matthews argue in an upcoming article in the prestigious Environmental Science & Technology journal that it is dietary choice, not food miles, which most determines a households food-related climate impacts.

They estimate that shifting to an entirely local diet would reduce the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions as driving 1,000 miles, while changing only one day per weeks meat and dairy-based calories to chicken, fish, or vegetables would have about the same impact. Shifting entirely from an average American diet to a vegetable-based one would reduce the same emissions as 8,000 miles driven per year.

Imagin how much driven miles of equivalent greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced if all the earth vehicles going electromoted instead by oil derivates ...
Than we can have any kind of food diets.
