Homegrown food creates 5x CO2 than conventional food

I don't doubt that. I'm just pointing out the fact that your chosen article is from a right wing outlet and that virtually ALL of those parrot the same lines on the same topics.

I did not read the story but I can understand how such a headline is "justified" if one considers the cumulative carbon emissions involved with ALL the effort expended in growing your own food.....the carbon print of the fertilizer you use, inclusion of the transportation related carbon print from shipping the stuff to the store you got them from, your own carbon print in going to get them from the store and then going back......who knows how they arrived at that figure? Different media emphasize (or in some cases just make up) aspects of any given subject to suit their own point of view.

The article doesn't claim that, you demented fool!


What it says is that it's more contributing proportionally than the consumption of store-bought produces but it's doesn't say that it's what causes global warming, you imbecile.

Rabbit, you imbecile, so peetape, the senile cretin, is the poster whose "insights" you appreciate, you fucking liar you!!!!

It literally states that’s what causing the observed spike.

It’s such garbage. There is not even a time series study done to be able to make such a claim. And he even states most is due to infrastructure like sheds and what’s needed to build those. It’s so ridiculous this even passes as a study by a PhD.

I never the article said home gardening is responsible for global warming.

I just don't believe that some farmer with two acres and a barn and a horse generates a bigger carbon footprint than the comparable footprint of an identical area of a corporate farm. If so, it just means that the scale of the corporate farm is so huge that in itself makes the average per acre carbon footprint low. There is no way a self sufficient farmer as I described makes a larger carbon footprint than an industrial concern.
