uptime could be a problem

the studies they cite state explicitly that LCA studies should not be combined, which you would find if you read literally any of their abstracts.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
I told you where to find the information. I can’t make you read it.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
or you could read their own citations.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
simply reading the LCA studies cited by poore and nemecek will show they are misusing the data.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
I’m advocating for a method to actually improve outcomes, and, yes, lampooning the simplistic answers offered here. but if the answers are more complex, there is not any nuisance or further explanation offered here. the data gathering and analysis methods offered are flawed, and it doesn’t take a degree in statistics or environmental science to understand this.
you’ve matched onto one glib comment I’ve made while closing over the real methodological missteps.

a study like this, posted to Lemmy is just
circle jerking

poore-nemecek is conducting scientific malpractice by combining LCA studies as they have. the problem with Netherlands, admittedly, is more of a feeling of misgiving, and I don’t know if there is any study that properly accounts for reclaimed agricultural water, or of that’s even a reasonable thing to do when your end product is a simple statistic like land use, water use, or ghge.
I think the crest thing to do is probably look at inefficiencies in any specific operation and help them improve, but that doesn’t give simplistic answers like telling 8 billion people to eat more or less of something.

it’s a 1% drop in total meat production. beef is just a portion of that. The whole reason for the blip though, was beef production.

you got rookie numbers. i could have had tens of thousands.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
do you think the only way it can be non eugenics based is if they shared those same sentiments to every country in every language in equal proportion?
yes
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
check 1995-1996
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
i’m saying abstaining from beef can’t causally decrease ghge
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
the suggestion that you are a best in class mental gymnast isn’t a thought terminating cliche
it is, and saying it isn’t doesn’t change that.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
by your rationale there would be no way to mention any activity without it being a suggestion that all current recipients must immediately perform said activity,
they are advocating for a set of actions. not simply mentioning them.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
Stating something is true with no supporting argument other than “I said so” followed by some shaky(at best) logic doesn’t leave much in the way of conversation points.
that’s not what happened. what i said were all truth claims. you can decide whether i was wrong about any of them (i’m not), but no argument at all is needed.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
no. i don’t think that. but i think the propaganda they’ve produced can only have that effect.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
only people who speak english can read that comment. they are only talking to english-literate people.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
dam. if only there were charts that show meat production and ghge
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
i’m not pro-natalist, but i am anti-anti-natalist, if there is any room for that.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
Only a small subset of people who don’t have kids are antinatalists.
i’m not talking about people who don’t have kids. i’m talking about people who advocate for people not to have kids.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
Environmentalism is the opposite of fascism
ecofascism is a real phenomenon. there is a cure for political illiteracy.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
Antinatalism is not eugenics.
maybe not in and of itself, but any advocacy for it or policies enforcing endorsing or causing it surely are.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
this is a thought-terminating cliche. what i said is true.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
Are you comparing that to a time that everyone stopped eating beef
like the mid-90’s mad cow scare?
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
in, as much as possible, a non-confrontational way, i’d love to hear why you think that.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
you are saying this in english, to a (self-)selected demographic subset of english speakers. you are encouraging a particular set of people not to have children. that’s eugenics. unless you can find a way to convey this message to everyone, at once, in an identical message given cultural and other contexts, you will be biasing the message to be more effective among some segment of the populous.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
the graphic you posted comes from this article, which shows it is based on poore-nemecek 2018. i’ve detailed teh problems with this study in another top-level comment here, but, basically, it’s not good science. i feel you’re spreading misinformation.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
i regard all antinatalism as ecofascism. i’m not asking you to change my mind, i’m letting you know you might be participating in a eugenics campaign.

i think at this point we’ve devolved into arguing semantics. you’re not going to convince me soybean is a viable crop unless you can press it for oil, and i don’t think i can convince you it’s a viable product unless the meal is fed to livestock. but i hope you have a good night!
