| Such a load of bull. I'm sick of people ignoring the science. Educate yourself before writing anything next time. It's clear as day you're wrong. It's the most impactful thing you can as an individual do. We need to stop fossil fuels asap, stop animal ag (deforestation, pollution, biodiversity loss, etc.), reform agriculture (soils, biodiversity, poisons) and start reforesting/afforesting. There are tons of studies that show it's the best way to stop the climate crisis. How Compatible Are Western European Dietary Patterns to Climate Targets?

What are chances that everyone globally will just switch to vegan diet to save on CO2 before 2050 or whatever end date? My fair estimate is zero.
It's like wishing people aren't lazy or corrupt or that are more honest. To quote the poet "You don't get what you want".
