Energy is used to make many things like for the production of food, machinery to plant and water, applying pesticides and fertilizers, assembling (factories) and packaging, growing animals, transportation (from farm to factory to store and from home to store) and this energy can be produced with fossil fuels that emit GHGs that contribute to global warming. Also, burping cows and sheep emit methane that also contribute to global warming.
