Burps and farts. They’re the fodder of fun prepubescent comedy. When the burps and farts come from livestock, though, they generate significant amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide in warming the planet. In fact, animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gas emissions … [continued]

It’s been another year of record-breaking heat and dwindling rainfall in Greece. Lake levels have noticeably receded. Struggles in the agriculture sector to irrigate make crop production tenuous. Wildfires have complicated water scarcity problems, because, as firefighters battle the infernos, the water they use depletes already weakened supplies. Water reservoirs … [continued]
