What we eat is having a negative impact on the planet, and if we don't change, we're in trouble. That's according to a new study from climate scientists.
Researchers took a look at our dietary habits and found three food groups — meat, dairy and rice — contribute the most to global warming.

One report found efforts to cut emissions require a swift end to fossil fuels and increase in renewable energy, among other measures.
And at the current rate of consumption, climate change will rise 1 degree Celsius just on food production alone. That would push the world past the U.N.'s agreed-upon temperature target.
Scientists say the key to avoiding this scenario is to cut down on meat consumption. Methane from farm animals is a major driver for climate change.
