You can go vegan now to cut emissions.

Also, just in case anyone is reading this and thinking they not sure they're ready- you can still:

  • Go vegan for set days in the week
  • Remove meant and dairy from, say, lunches
  • Just eat less meat

Even if you don't go full vegan, you'll still cut emissions by transitioning your diet.

that would work if the meat industry responded to your choice by reducing production. it doesn't.

Doesn't it? Surely the economics of less demand for meat = less meat production?

[-] Sas@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

Seems to work in Germany. Every year i read headlines that meat production has gone back in comparison to the prior year

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

meat production grows in the global scale regardless of what happens in Germany

that doesn't happen. your theory isn't reliable

Unrelated, but I am loving the new tag feature in Voyager

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I had commie blocked a long time ago and yet they’re still replying under my comments 🤣

The tags are amazing they save me so much time seeing if someone is convinced, vegan or carnist.

what's the [+16] feature? I can't see that

[-] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

In Voyager, if you're relatively up-to-date: Settings > User tags > Track votes

It only starts tracking once you enable so everything will look blank at first because it's all just 0.

turns out FDroid stopped showing updates. Thanks for making me realize!

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago

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.
