Take a bite out of climate crisis

Near-record high temperatures, low humidity and high winds are quite literally adding fuel to the wildfires across Larimer, Boulder and Jefferson counties.

The human-induced climate catastrophe has caused Colorado to grow hotter and drier in recent years, setting the stage for more frequent and intense weather events, particularly wildfires.

Scientists warn that to reverse this trend, we need to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by the early 2050s. But how?

A study by the University of Oxford found that meat-eaters are responsible for almost twice as many dietary greenhouse gas emissions per day as vegetarians and about 2½ times as many as vegans.
