Eating Heating Our Planet?

A Columbia University study claims that "sustaining the pattern (of food production) we have today is not consistent with a climate-safe future" (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/06/meat-dairy-rice-high-methane-food-production-bust-climate-target-study). This study found that 'high methane foods' alone, could push the Earth past the (alledgedly 'safe') 1.5 degrees Centigrade (above pre-Industrial levels) limit, agreed at the Paris COP Meeting. Three quarters of food-related climate heating, is generated by methane emissions from ruminant stock (mainly cattle kept for meat and dairy products) and paddy fields for rice growing. Paddy fields act like methane-producing swamps. The Columbia study suggests a 55% reduction in temperature rise, could be achieved by reducing meat consumption in rich countries to medically-recommended levels. It seems like a 'no-brainer', to improve your health whilst saving the planet. However, getting rich folk to curb their food intakes, won't be an easy sell. People are constantly bombarded with messages to eat more.
