Malthus was a fascist and you're a fascist for repeating his bullshit.
Now back on topic: I'm pretty sure the couple companies that are mostly based on fossil fuels being responsible for around 90% of greenhouse gases are the main contributors to climate change, not meat production, even if it contributes too.
It's a bit extreme to call them a fascist when they likely are just ill-informed on the actual carrying capacity of the earth. If our standards are so high that we don't have room for people to be wrong and to learn before calling them a fascist, then we'll actively push people away from wanting to learn.
Fascism is a far right ideology. I'm very far left.
You seem to use "fascist" as an ad hominem fallacy.
You're using it to attempt to discredit my statement.
That's the ad hominem logical fallacy.
If I'm wrong, show me data, and I'll retract my statement.
