A climatarian diet isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about how you shop and cook as well.

What is climatarian diet? Is this eco-friendly diet trend the only way forward?

With people being more aware of the climate crisis and global warming, they are focusing on means through which they can reduce their carbon footprint. The conscious choice to switch to an eco-friendly lifestyle has made the climatarian diet a popular trend.

The Climatarian Diet: Reduce your carbon footprint

The climatarian&nbsp;diet&nbsp;focuses on reducing carbon footprint by consciously choosing food items that do not add to the growing greenhouse gas emissions.

With Gen Z and Millennials being more conscious of the climate crisis and global warming than Boomers and Gen&nbsp;X, they are increasingly focusing on means through which they can reduce their carbon footprint. The conscious choice to switch to an eco-friendly lifestyle has made the&nbsp;climatarian diet a popular trend.
The climatarian diet focuses on reducing carbon footprint by consciously choosing food items that do not add to the growing greenhouse gas emissions.&nbsp;A climatarian diet isn&rsquo;t just about&nbsp;what&nbsp;you eat, it&rsquo;s about how you shop and cook as well. While some people choose to cut out meat completely, others don&rsquo;t. The main goal of the diet is to eat more plant foods while limiting or eliminating animal products.

Here are some ways to adapt to this eco-friendly diet and lifestyle.
Focus on locally grown produce
The goal of the climatarian diet is not an extremist approach like veganism or pescetarianism, but rather to make small changes that collectively make a large difference. When you stop purchasing some exotic salad dressing or coffee beans online and rather buy from your local grocery store, you make the conscious decision to not add on to the global fuel burden, and in turn, help your locals instead.
Limit your sugar intake
Not only is excessive sugar consumption bad for your health, it&rsquo;s bad for the planet too. Sugarcane is a water-intensive crop that remains in the soil all year long. As one of the world&rsquo;s thirstiest crops, sugarcane has a significant impact on many environmentally sensitive regions. Sugar mills produce wastewater, toxic emissions and solid wastes that gravely impact the planet.
Swap beef or lamb for chicken
Beef and lamb use much more land and water per kg food produced than other meats. In fact, chicken is the least carbon-intensive option. Swapping beef for chicken can significantly decrease your carbon footprint.
Go nuts on seeds
Great for snacking or adding to smoothies or overnight oats, nuts and seeds are a great source of protein. The most eco-friendly varieties include peanuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds.

Climate change is a direct result of increased carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. A new study by MIT reveals that more volatile temperature rise is in store.

MIT study reveals that global temperatures will become even more volatile 

A new study by MIT reveals that in the coming years, the global temperature will become even more volatile with an inclination towards warmer climatic conditions.

Climate Change Crisis: It's only going to get hotter!

A new study by MIT reveals that in the coming years, the global temperature will become even more volatile.

Prolonged droughts, record-breaking heat, wildfires, and frequent cyclonic storms are a direct result of the increased addition of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A new study by MIT reveals that in the coming years, the global temperature will become even more volatile.
The study examines the paleoclimate record of the last 66 million years after&nbsp;the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic&nbsp;era is the period that began shortly after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The team of researchers observed that during this period, the distribution of global temperatures was lopsided and that the warm events were more extreme than the cooling events. This led to faster melting of icebergs in the poles and a rise in sea level.

The researchers say a possible explanation for this warming bias may lie in a &lsquo;multiplier effect.&rsquo; This effect indicates a condition wherein a modest degree of warming naturally speeds up certain biological and chemical processes, leading to further warming. For instance, volcanoes releasing carbon dioxide or a wildfire caused due to excessive heat multiply the global heat levels and shrink the ice sheets.
Daniel Rothman, professor of geophysics at MIT concluded that it is fair to say that the Earth's temperature will continue to become more volatile, with an increased inclination towards warmer climatic conditions.

Indians living in cities like Delhi and Mumbai might have to move away from the classic 9-to-5 work life, thanks to global warming.&nbsp;

If the current pollution, emission and global warming trends continue, Indians living in cities like Delhi and Mumbai might have to move away from the classic 9-to-5 work life.
Global warming is terrible for office work!
According to a Duke University study, India already loses 101 billion work hours a year due to unbearable heat. This number stands to rise to about 230 billion hours a year as global warming stays on track to rise by 2 degrees Celsius.
Published in Nature Communications, the study says that countries with large populations in South and East Asia experience the most work hours lost, both in the coolest hours and in the full workday, with India showing the largest heat exposure impacts on heavy labour.

Economic losses from&nbsp;unbearable heat levels
The study estimates the projected economic losses due to this lost productivity to be around $1.6 trillion (Rs 1.6 lakh crores) annually if warming continues to go up.
Jobs in agriculture and construction work will become the hardest to perform safely during afternoon hours in the summer in many places, the study warned.&nbsp;
Overall, the physiological limits to the heat and humidity that humans can tolerate will simply become too much for our work life to stay the same.

The UN climate summit, known as COP26 this year, has opened in Glasgow. It brings officials from almost 200 countries to haggle over the best measures to combat global warming.
COP, short for Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, is in 26th year since the first summit in 1995. So COP26.
Even after realising so long ago the very imminent threat to climate, the world leaders are still arguing over how to combat the greatest threat to Earth.
So what is it that needs to get done.
In Paris in 2015, nations agreed to keep the temperature increase below 2 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The world leaders agreed that the ideal would be 1.5 degree Celsius.
But humans have already heated the planet 1.1 degrees and global temperatures are very likely to rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in the next few decades.
The world is way behind the commitments and we are heading for a 2.7 degrees increase.
These increasing temperatures will see more extreme weather events occurring more often -- more hurricanes, more flooding, more fire, more drought.
Then there is the issue of Climate Finance. Who will pay for the developing countries' transition to clean energy when the big, developed nations have plundered climate for growth?
The biggest emitters of carbon are China, the US, India, Russia and Japan. The European Union countries altogether rank as the third biggest. Poor countries didn't contribute the same level of emissions -- yet they are the major victims of the climate crisis.
The wealthy nations pledged $100 billion a year to poor countries by 2020, which didn't happen.
COP26 is set to be a big moment for upholding and strengthening these pledges.
While COP26 is being hailed as the best last chance to avert catastrophe, what will it take for the summit to succeed?
The nations need to pledge to zero emission by 2015 and a big reduction by 2030 at COP26 for it to have a meaningful impact.
The developing nations will want a financial package to adapt to clean energy.

G20 leaders meeting in Rome on Sunday committed to the key goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and pledged action on the use of coal.
However, according to a final draft communiqu&eacute; the world leaders fell short on a target of zero emissions.
The pledges by the Group of 20 major economies, who emit nearly 80 percent of carbon emissions, are viewed as crucial to the success of make-or-break UN climate talks taking place in Glasgow over the next fortnight
The leaders reportedly agreed to keep in play key commitments agreed at the landmark 2015 Paris accords.
Diplomats said the language used was tougher than in the Paris deal, but activist groups slammed the final statement as "weak" and half-hearted
According to the statement, leaders called for clear national plans that "align long-term ambition with short- and medium-term goals&rsquo;
Experts say meeting the 1.5 degree target means slashing global emissions nearly in half by 2030 and to "net-zero" by 2050. However, &nbsp;there is no firm date in the G20 communique, which speaks only of reaching the goal of net zero "by or around mid century".

A UN report &nbsp;on global emissions target has shown the planet is heading towards warming of 2.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.
According to scientists, global temperatures should remain less than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in order to prevent the worse consequences of the climate crisis.
Commenting on the report, UN Secretary General Ant&oacute;nio Guterres said the planet&rsquo;s current path is &lsquo;catastrophic&rsquo;. He added that &lsquo;failure to meet 1.5 degree Celsius goal of the Paris Agreement will be measured in the massive loss of lives and livelihoods&rsquo;.
The catastrophic wildfires and devastating floods are proof that &lsquo;we are rapidly running out of time.&rdquo;
Scientists have said that emissions need to be reduced by 45 per cent by 2030 to reach carbon neutrality by the middle of the century,
As per the current emissions commitments from countries, there will be a 16 per cent increase in emissions in 2030 when compared to the 2010 level. &nbsp;According to the report this will lead to warming of 2.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century

Commenting on the report, UN Secretary General Ant&oacute;nio Guterres said the planet&rsquo;s current path is &lsquo;catastrophic&rsquo;. He added that &lsquo;failure to meet 1.5 degree Celsius goal of the Paris Agreement will be measured in the massive loss of lives and livelihoods&rsquo;.
The catastrophic wildfires and devastating floods are proof that &lsquo;we are rapidly running out of time.&rdquo;
Scientists have said that emissions need to be reduced by 45 per cent by 2030 to reach carbon neutrality by the middle of the century,
As per the current emissions commitments from countries, there will be a 16 per cent increase in emissions in 2030 when compared to the 2010 level. &nbsp;According to the report this will lead to warming of 2.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century

The world's worst fear is confirmed. The UN has confirmed the report that Antarctica logged temperatures up to 18.3 degrees Celsius in February this year. This is the a new maximum temperature record for the region. The grim milestone was breached on February 6.
With this, Antarctica has now become one of the fastest-warming regions in the world -- registering a rise of almost three degrees Celsius in the last 50 years, the United Nations World Meteorological Organization has confirmed.
The earlier record temperature for the Antarctic continent, according to the WMO, was 17.5 degrees Celsius recorded on March 24, 2015.

Relish that cup of coffee or banana smoothie while you can, because it seems like some of the world&rsquo;s most beloved foods&nbsp;might soon&nbsp;disappear&nbsp;forever, courtesy of&nbsp;climate change!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Climate change attacking your grocery list sounds a little dramatic but thanks to global heating and natural or man-made disasters, this may very well be our reality. Extreme weather conditions&nbsp;including&nbsp;drought, floods,&nbsp;wildfires and heatwaves, are all threatening our favourite crops and making agriculture difficult in many parts of the world, including India.&nbsp;
Global warming is making the Earth&rsquo;s environment inhospitable not just for humans but even the food they eat. Unfortunately, the foods that are most endangered by rising temperatures are also among the most popular. Let&rsquo;s take a look at some of these foods that could go extinct due to the impact of climate change on our planet.
CHICKPEAS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Chickpea or&nbsp;chhole, an important legume crop consumed widely, faces a major threat from drought and rising heat.&nbsp;As the crop requires a lot of water for production, rampant droughts have shrunk production by 40-50 per cent and scientists are actually trying to develop climate-resilient chickpeas!
BANANAS&nbsp;&nbsp;
The world&rsquo;s most convenient fruit, bananas need moderate weather and a consistent water supply for healthy production.&nbsp;Additionally, a tropical disease that is jumping continents also threatens to wipe out banana plantations across the globe.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
COFFEE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Guzzled by caffeine lovers around the world, coffee could be another victim of rising heat levels. Both the&nbsp;regions where coffee is grown and the bees that help its growth are threatened by ecological disruption. In fact,&nbsp;88&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of Latin America's coffee-suitable areas could&nbsp;deplete&nbsp;by 2050.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SEAFOOD&nbsp;
The carbon dioxide released by humans and human-related activities is absorbed by our vast oceans. An imbalance in CO2 rise is messing up marine chemistry&nbsp;and this could have a far-reaching impact on seafood.&nbsp;As the quality of&nbsp;seafood deteriorates, seafood-borne diseases are already increasing.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SOYBEANS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Could&nbsp;tofu, edamame, miso, and tempeh become a thing of the past? A 2017 crop study found that if&nbsp;the world&rsquo;s emissions are not significantly reduced,&nbsp;soybean crops could diminish by 40 per cent by 2100.&nbsp;Apart from food, soybeans are also&nbsp;a source of biofuels giving them global&nbsp;economic importance as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WHEAT, MAIZE &amp; RICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
In a grim revelation, a 2016 study of crops of vital dietary importance found that the production of wheat, maize, and rice is also in danger.&nbsp;Regions, where the crops are currently grown, could become obsolete, due to oscillating temperatures and unpredictable weather while the demand is projected to increase 33 per cent by 2050.&nbsp;
CHOCOLATE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Some bitter news about your favourite sweet treat, cocoa beans that are used to produce chocolate&nbsp;can only grow if a certain set of conditional requirements are met.&nbsp;A limited area of potential growth, fluctuation in humidity and lack of&nbsp;nutrient-rich&nbsp;soil&nbsp;all&nbsp;threaten chocolate&rsquo;s future.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Evidently, protecting the environment should be the world&rsquo;s top priority as it's slowly beginning to feel like whatever we do will be too little, too late.&nbsp;

Exposing the impact of climate change on human health, a new study has found that&nbsp;more than a third of all heat-related deaths around the world between 1991 and 2018 can be&nbsp;blamed&nbsp;on&nbsp;human-induced global heating.&nbsp;&nbsp;
What&rsquo;s worse, scientists say this is only the tip of the very damaging climate iceberg. Adding that far more people die from extreme weather conditions brought upon&nbsp;by global warming disasters such as storms, flooding and drought.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For the purpose of this study, researchers looked at heat deaths in 732 cities in 43 countries around the globe from 1991 to 2018 and calculated that 37% were caused by&nbsp;higher temperatures. Overall, the data found the largest climate change-induced contributions to be from southern and western Asia (Iran and Kuwait),&nbsp;followed by&nbsp;south-east Asia (the Philippines and Thailand) and Central and South America.
Published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the study highlights the glaring reality that climate change is already killing people in every continent, making&nbsp;it more important than ever to empower meaningful change&nbsp;through global climate agreements.
