You really had to throw veganism into the mix there…?


I think that convincing people to go vegan is one of the least plausible ways to combat climate change, but livestock are responsible for 10-20% of greenhouse gas emissions: https://thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-agriculture-environm...


There is much lower-hanging fruit than demanding people alter their diets.

Thing is, we need to reach for high-hanging fruits


Did you read the link? Spending 1 million bucks to fix all the methane leaks in the world is such an insane bang-for-buck win that I can’t even fathom spending one billion bucks for a tenth of the gain.

But sure, go for it. Logic be damned.
