Yeah and if we eliminate animal enterprises altogether it would be much better. Go vegan.

I thought this kind of inflammatory behaviour would stay on reddit, guess I was wrong about that

You're only creating your own devide, live and let live and do not harass others online

Your not going to convert everyone to vеgаnism and trying to force that won't help you at all

People who choose to become vegan will go vegan and people who choose not to wont

People need to understand that we're all people of different backgrounds and a better (solarpunk) future has room for all of them

Not gonna happen though. Halving is already extremely hard

We won't give up until every cage is empty.

Notice how the title is about land use emissions. That's about changes in how land is used, not overall ememissions.

Deforestation is done to clear land tongrow animal feed more than anything else. It's not just methane from the cattle.

'Livestock’ emissions here include direct emissions from livestock only – they do not consider impacts of land use change for pasture or animal feed.

The amount of change we would all need to do is so immense I don’t think it’s fathomable.

Me choosing not to eat meat even if I stopped completely and went vegan would not do a damn thing.

I don’t believe the problem is a matter of personal choices, it’s a much larger scale.

You and all your friends becoming vegan doesn’t do shit. It’s laughable.

People engage in individual action as a means of demonstrating that collective action is possible. Nobody is expecting individual action on its own to suffice; it takes changing the rules of society so that everybody is doing the right thing.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
