Reply to comment by amaroque9 in International scientists find Earth is ‘unequivocally’ in midst of climate emergency. The report shows new data illustrating increasing frequency of extreme heat events, rising global tree cover loss because of fires, and a greater prevalence of the mosquito-borne dengue virus. by Wagamaga
Are you seriously equating the amount of damage individuals do to the amount of damage corporations and the elite do. If I was flying private jets across the globe daily, maybe I could significantly reduce my emissions. I encourage all to reduce their footprint. Going vegan is extreme.

According to the UNs FAO, "animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined."
It's gonna take everybody doing everything they can. There are 8 billion people on the planet. 8 billion people can do a lot. The results are cumulative as is the damage
As the saying goes, you're either part of the problem or part of the solution. You're a little bit of each, aren't you

Again, vegan is extreme. Especially, when I already view it as a lost cause. I do not see any changes being made. The world puts out more emissions annually despite pledges to cut.

I think the collapse of humanity because you want to eat bacon is extreme but that's just me
But you essentially proved my point anyway. Everyone recognizes changes need to be made but they don't want to make them themselves. That's the real lost cause.
