Comment on Boys admit killing more than 20 animals in break-in
Vegoon@feddit.de 3 months agoA innocent animal suffers and dies for you taste pleasure. According to the WHO and pretty much any health organization it is carcinogenic, causes heart diseases, diabetes, pneumonia and according to the IPCC going vegan is the biggest step a single person can do to fight climate change, a step which, if do not take it, even with 0 fossile fuels climate change will destroy agriculture as we know it. But I am old, so whatever.

I do not want to fight climate change unless we have an egalitarian society worth fighting for. I’ve had older folk ask me why they don’t see zoomers recycling as much as they do - this is why.
Also you’re wrong. The most positive climate impact you can have is not having a kid, not having a car and not flying, in that order. But none of these will do anything meaningful when Musk emits more on his private jet alone than I could in a lifetime.

I do not have any kids, that’s why I don’t have to worry about your attitudes. But it is not a single thing we have to change, it all has to change.
Transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions …Aviation – while it often gets the most attention in discussions on action against climate change – accounts for only 11.6% of transport emissions.
Food is responsible for approximately 26% of global GHG emissions.
Research suggests that if everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%
Clark et al. show that even if fossil fuel emissions were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target. Thus, major changes in how food is produced are needed if we want to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Where I live meat production goes down already, but you not having a kid will not change anything because you not getting laid was so predictable that every climate model considered it already.

I like how you ignored everything I said about societal inequities lol.
You people are nutters, drinking from mushy straws isn’t gonna save us, nothing short from a global revolution will.
And even if it might soften the impact slightly let me state once more: I do not give a shit. Unless we burn the rich first, the earth can burn.
