US EditionStudy Finds Men Emit More Pollution Thanks to These Two Lifestyle Choices
- A 2025 French study found that men emit 26 percent more carbon pollution than women from food and transport activities.
- Researchers attributed this gap largely to traditional gender norms linking masculinity with higher red meat consumption and greater car use.
- The study analyzed data from 15,000 people in France, matching consumption patterns with environmental impact, and controlled for socioeconomic factors.
- According to the researchers, the remaining 6.5 to 9.5 percent gap in emissions between men and women—after adjusting for calorie intake, travel distances, and socioeconomic factors—is largely attributable to men’s higher consumption of red meat and greater use of cars.
- The findings suggest gendered lifestyle choices significantly shape individual carbon footprints and could explain women's greater concern about climate change.

Junk study says if men didn't eat so much red meat we'd have nicer...
They really do want to turn men into women The men are the climate vandals who carelessly wreck the Earth. If they would just eat the tofu and drive less, the world would be a better place, eh, especially for bourgeois academic femmebots in London. This is the kind of junk research that Big Government funding feeds. Someone spent a lot of money, and nobody learnt a thing. Naturally, the Guardian lapped it right up: Car use and meat consumption d…
