I think the biggest issue, especially in parts of the US, is just cultural inertia. It's reallynot hard or.expensive to eat an easy, healthy and tasty vegan or vegetarian diet, but a lot of people, especially men, tie their identity up with eating meat.

You can go vegan now to cut emissions.

didn't you already try that?

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.

"Take all this woke vegan food and green EVs with your liberal mindset back to where it belongs; China. Wait, what?"

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.
