Agriculture causes around 10%, while transportation, including freight and flights causes around 30%.

Among the most effective things you can do yourself with minimal impact of your way of life is choosing to eat less meat.

Edit: the numbers I remembered was for Europe. Globally food production is 25%

These are USA numbers correct? My numbers are whole world numbers.

Most I can tell your numbers are just entirely made up, I've never heard of any serious study ever estimating global green house gas emissions from agriculture under 10%.

https://www.c2es.org/content/international-emissions/

>Globally, the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity and heat (31%), agriculture (11%), transportation (15%), forestry (6%) and manufacturing (12%). Energy production of all types accounts for 72 percent of all emissions.

Please don't start on this theme again. Your posts are fine otherwise, and we value you as a user! But this was a big problem before and it's best if it doesn't start up again.
