The first 2 or 3 months of the covid lock down was the most optimistic I've ever been. The air cleaned up immediately and you could almost see the temperatures start to plateau. We will never achieve something like that again.
Or, like the beef thing I mentioned, which for many people is a worse contributor than cars. Or a number of other high-prioritt things.
I do believe that we all have a role in greenhouse gas reduction, but it'd really help if they were focused on the things that really actually matter. And not being a condescending, unrealistic jackass would probably have helped them make a point too.
So you're going to just ignore the question I asked and the points I made, very cool.
I never mentioned food. I mentioned the needless conveniences that were created in the recent 100 years. Sure, we should be eating less meat.
I'm just sick of all the people in my life who role play as progressives without thinking about their own actions. There's a friend group that I pretty much dropped contact with because they're too boomer to figure out Discord and I'm too climate anxietied to drive an hour just to watch youtube videos and have the same dozen or so conversations again. I've dropped hollywood movies, partly because of the drive as well, but also the carbon foot print from its production. I literally can not travel for myself without some form of guilt.
I've had climate anxiety for the past 30 fucking years. Been sabotaged by my guidance counselor when I wanted to pursue a college that would be interested in that rather then just producing more consumers. FFS, is that all college is for? Sounds like the highest achievement anyone wants for us is to be good little consumers and make their lines go up.
Should I feel vindicated when my crops fail because of the heat?
Also, not everyone works on the same schedule. I have more important things to do than reply to you on your timetable.
You didn't mention food, no.
I asked you a specific question, brought in a relevant point, explained why it was relevent, and you're still ignoring it with some random streams off consciousness.
What? But...you did reply. That was the point. I wasn't complaining about the timing, just that you blathered some reply that ignored what it was replying to.
You clearly just want to talk at people, I won't be getting your reply.
