What is global warming and how does the production of food contribute to it?

Global warming is the rising temperature all over the world, caused largely by the burning of coal oil and natural gas (the fossil fuels), which puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and extra carbon is causing global warming.
Most food has a carbon footprint. This means that the production, transport and even cooking release some carbon emissions. If you eat apples that are grown on the other side of the world, that apple has a global footprint from all the water and fertilizer used to grow it and transport that carried it from its tree to your mouth. If you eat an apple that grew in your garden then its carbon footprint is very small (fertilizer, water), or even neutral.

Why do people think that global warming is good?
Some people imagine that global warming simply means slightly warmer winters and milder summers, overlooking the fact that if average temperatures rise around the globe, some areas will experience much higher temperatures, but other areas may even become colder. Some people imagine that global warming means higher food production will be possible, ignoring the fact that more prolonged droughts will reduce the food production in some areas, as will more frequent severe floods in other areas. People who think that global warming is good look to what they imagine to be the advantages of global warming, but overlook, or are unaware of, the harm that it can cause.
Does global warming affect food land or the economy?
Global warming can affect the supply of food and the quality of the land. Global warming can increase the frequency of disasters such as hurricanes and drought. The economy eventually goes into recess if the country relied on agriculture for a great percentage of the income.
Why does food cause global warming?
by the transportation of the food from the farm to the market or the place where you buy food
Are meerkats affected by global warming?
There is no evidence that global warming is affecting meerkats yet. However the warming is gradually affecting the food chains and habitats of many animals. If this happens, the animals have to migrate, adapt or die.
How has global warming afected to food chain of polar bears?
Global warming affects the food chain by creating scarcity in certain parts of the food chain. This scarcity has an effect on all other parts food chain system. Scarcity in one part of the food chain affects the entire food system.
How is respiration part of Global warming?
when you run your can, not all the fuel is burned. leftover carbon bonds to oxygen forming carbon dioxide (CO2). as more CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, it traps heat by absorbing radiation that otherwise would be emitted back into space. gasses like CO2 are necessary to keep our plant warm, but the vast excess being created by automobiles and other sources is causing the temperature of the earth to increase
Has a panda habitat been affected by global warming?
yes the pandas food (bamboo) is dieing because of global warming
What are the problems of the worlds food supply?

What is the definition of the term food miles?
Food miles is a term which refers to the distance food is transported from the time of its production until it reaches the consumer. Food miles are one factor used when assessing the environmental impact of food, including the impact on global warming

Why do animals kill from global warming?
Global warming may change local climate and natural balance in some parts of the earth. Some animals can not survive the change in their environment. Animals will not kill as a response to global warming. Animals kills for food or territorial reasons.
Where does the global food crisis occur?
in countries that have been affected by global warming catastrophes and also the less fortune countries
