    I upvoted because this message still didn’t reach everyone, but I guess it’s just that people are in denial… like, isn’t this obvious? And weren’t there already dozens of studies proving it?

        Well, if everyone thinks like that nobody does anything ever… even the richest of the rich can say “it’s not because of me”, because it really isn’t. This is a man made disaster, but not by any single man. Some contribute more, others less, but the idea that only the rich polute is complete bonkers.

          I think that’s the point. People don’t want to change, so they say: “I’ll change when they’ll change.” Knowing full well that it is a deadlocked situation.

          Agreed, but it’s too easy to come after plebs like me and my eating habits when comparably private air flight is responsible for orders of magnitude more co2.

          Me turning down my heating or eating less bacon is not going to have the kind of impact that big corporations, government, and super wealthy could have if they curbed their destructive habits.

            private air flight is responsible for orders of magnitude more co2.

            Aviation worldwide creates 2% of man made GHG, food production 25% and could be reduced by 75% with a plant based diet.

            How do we hold evil corporations accountable if not refusing to give them our money?

            We can do better in our own lives while advocating for bigger change.

      I got the message and I don’t care. Humans evolved to eat animals. B12 is an essential vitamin whose primary source is meat and dairy. The entire country of India is B12 deficient because of their diet:

      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6540890/

      For humans to live, other organisms must die. We are part of the cycle. You want to preserve the biosphere that allows humans to survive? Reduce the number of humans. I am child free.

        You can do more than one thing to help the climate.

        Sure, humans evolved to eat meat. Let’s just assume that’s correct, and you have the right interpretation of it.

        But that doesn’t mean we have to.

        Humans didn’t evolve to type things on a cell phone, yet here we are.

        We’re omnivores which means we can thrive with or without meat, B12 is simple to supplement.

        Humans evolved to eat animals.

        humans also evolved to die from cholera before the age of 3 what’s your point

        B12 is an essential vitamin whose primary source is meat and dairy

        so add b12 to foods, or take b12 supplements

        I am child free

        not having children because you never wanted children isn’t an argument unless you avoided having them specifically for the climate

        you’re allowed to eat meat, but can we please stop with all the limp-wristed excuses for why it’s actually morally justifiable and just own it?

        I eat meat myself. But I reduced a lot my consumption, most people in Western countries consume far too much, even for their own health. We should consume less and better, chosing meat from sustainable farming instead of cheap meat from pastures where there should be the Amazon…
