Love science people that deny science. You're just the best.

Seriously, just Google animal agriculture and climate change and you'll find that I'm 100% correct

Sticking your head in the sand is just an invitation to get kicked in the ass

Every bit helps. Animal agriculture is the third leading driver of climate change. The more people get on board, the bigger the effect

I just get sick of people blaming politicians and corporations and the "elite" while simultaneously being part of the problem

Being vegan IS the most immediate and effective step any individual can personally take

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.

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

Because science says we need to eat more plant based at a minimum to keep under 2°C rise

"We conclude that reduced ruminant meat and dairy consumption will be indispensable for reaching the 2 °C target with a high probability, unless unprecedented advances in technology take place."

The single most immediate and effective thing you can personally do to help offset climate change is to go vegan. Other actions pale in comparison to the immediacy of a vegan diet

Everyone's blaming someone else when you're the consumer of the corporations products

The climate crisis is everyone's responsibility, not "If only X would do this"
