  1. Just to be clear...when scientists say: “Meat has a pretty big carbon footprint, it might be good if rich countries ate less of it” they are not saying: “Everyone should only eat lettuce (which is basically flavoured water) for the rest of their lives”

    Japan's return to coal is a direct result of shutting down a large portion of the clean energy generation.

  3. This is very cool! But the real test is whether it can handle my Scottish accent.

    In a follow-up article we look at how regional variations in footprints of foods affect this. The message remains the same: the ‘worst' plant-based foods are still much lower than the 'best' meat and dairy.

    But this is not about completely wiping out meat. Lower footprint meat still has a large role to play. The massive ranges we see for products such as beef and lamb mean we have options from both producers and consumers to make a difference.

    This is a follow-up to a common question raised from my previous article on the impact of food choice vs. eating local. Many argued that this ignored regional variations. But it holds true when we look past global averages.

    Eating less meat is nearly always better for your carbon footprint than eating the 'most sustainable' meat. The ‘worst' peas, beans, tofu and nuts still have a lower footprint than the ‘best’ meat and dairy. Latest article:

    EM-DAT (the disaster database) report that most heatwave deaths occurred in Europe. Mostly France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

    EM-DAT (the disaster database) report that most flood deaths occurred in Asia and Africa. Largest number were in India.

    When we look over longer timescales (since 1900), deaths from natural disasters have declined a lot. It was not uncommon for millions to die in a year. We can adapt & respond much better since we are richer. Have better technology/systems to do so.

    Just under 12,000 people (11,719) died from natural disasters in 2019. This was quite a low mortality year – mainly because there were no massive earthquakes. Average over the past decade is approx. 60,000 per year:

    How many people died from natural disasters in 2019? Just updated our work on Natural Disasters with the final figures from EMDAT. A short thread 1/

    For tomorrow’s I ask whether the world is making progress against cancer. Deaths from cancer increased. Mostly because of population growth; the rate increased only a quarter as much. Adjusted for aging the death rate declined.

    We would die from starvation. It’s that simple.

    Nature just published a comment by and I pointing out that the high-emissions RCP8.5 emissions scenario – with its 500% increase in coal use by 2100 – is increasingly unlikely in a world of falling clean energy prices. A thread: 1/11

    Actually identifying which foods are air-freighted can be hard. Often they’re not labeled. I think they should be. Usually it's highly-perishable foods, transported a long way = they have to get to the consumer quickly, so come by plane. /end

    Since most food isn’t transported by plane, ‘eating local’ has a much smaller impact on our footprint than we often think. But it *does* matter for the small amount of air-freighted food. We should avoid that where we can. 3/

    This matters. Whether your food travels by boat or plane has a large difference on it’s carbon footprint. Transporting by plane emits around 50 times as much CO₂ per tonne-kilometer vs. by boat. 2/
