Reply to comment by kzlife76 in Study finds that methane creates cooling clouds that offset 30% of the heat, which means methane has a lower effect on climate change than previously thought by Theranosissus

you could always eat steak because individual action is not going to stop climate change. it’s up to the 100 corporations who account for what, 70% emissions?

How exactly are corporations supposed to reduce emissions without people consuming less?

Well it would involve spending money into cleaner practices and cutting into profits... So not going to happen.

The government could outlaw beef farms and find some sort of substitute. Like in Japan beef is supposedly stupid expensive so some people substitute with horse meat. Which sounds kinda yuck until you consider the fact that McDonald’s is allowed to make rat burgers with no legal consequences whatsoever.

Why would any politicians kill their career by banning something widely popular?

It wouldn’t kill their career — they’d gain the vote of the entire green party. Plus, even if they did it’d be hard to enforce anyway — there’d totally be a black market beef market. Like if people already have a shit-ton of beef cows the government could not possibly stop them all from slaughtering them all at once and selling it off to friends and family.

Just park it unattended in any city and you won't have to take it out yourself!
