Climate Heat Threatens Global Milk Supply

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights new research from universities in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Chicago showing that global milk production could fall by 4% by mid-century due to rising heat stress. This decline will disproportionately impact 150 million households that rely on dairy farming, especially in southern Asia. McIntyre also points to broader agricultural damage from climate change, including drops in cocoa, coffee, and beef production due to heat and drought.
