Without a shift in meat and dairy consumption, limiting global temperature rise to two degrees is unlikely, says a new study by Chatham House. The survey results suggest that people underestimate the contribution meat and dairy production makes to greenhouse gas emissions. Willingness to change These findings are important, the report authors say, because people who are less aware of how meat and dairy production contributes to climate change say they are less willing to change their eating habits. In the absence of policy, says co-author Rob Bailey, livestock will consume a larger and larger share of a rapidly-declining carbon budget.
