Sorry, how? By encouraging people to not care and saying that eventually a hero politician in a small country will be the change they wish to see in the world?

Because eating meat 5x a day at artificially low prices is the wrong thing to do and is a reflection of a poor culture

Your edit makes me wish I could downvote this again. Your flawed logic can be used to excuse a number of ridiculous and fucked up shit. “Folks just don’t get it.” Fuck off with that bullshit.

Seriously. Some people here are so happy they’ve found the “perfect” justification for their apathy and inaction.
- 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 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t be nothing and you know that. If you simplify the meat problem to just emissions, sure, it might look small in comparison to cruises, etc. But if you look at it as the multifaceted problem it really is, then reducing consumption will have several effects. Especially, as you exaggerated, if you forced everyone you know to do the same.
The last thing we need is people advocating for these “fuck it” attitudes. Should we really excuse better choices and better directions of behavior and culture just because there’s a “small” effect? I feel like this line of logic can be used to excuse some pretty dark shit.

I think it’s pretty clear you said individuals shouldn’t feel responsible for any of this

People will look at an image like this, read that 80% of deforestation in the Amazon happens for cattle, and go “I’m powerless, Exxon is bad” and continue to not only eat meat 5x a day but also actively try to convince people that reducing their meat consumption is silly and they might as well keep eating it as much as they want because grocery stores will stock it anyway.
- 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 weeks ago:
Yep, it’s definitely nobody’s fault people eat so much meat that the Amazon is deforested primarily for cattle and for soy (which is for cattle). Nobody feel bad or take responsibility because Exxon is greedy. Lmao gottem.

No politician is ever gonna run on a “no meat” platform lol.
Plus it’s not just a supermarket. It’s all the little mediocre burger shops that prop up around it and other restaurants like it.
Take some responsibility. Do what’s right even if it won’t work globally.
If you think something is wrong and is fucking up the planet don’t just throw your hands up and go “meh it’s gonna be at the grocery store anyway might as well eat meat 5x a day hehe yum, guilt free.”

Emissions are just a piece of it. There’s land use, consequences of this land use, etc, which involve changes in rain patterns, soil acidification, and so forth.
- 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 weeks ago:
You’re saying a study cited 6000+ times is so bad but you can’t produce a single well cited article that critiques it yet it is so obviously bad that anyone – without a degree in environmental science or statistics – can easily go throw the cited LCA studies and go “fuck this shit stinks”? Give me a fuckin break.
- 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 weeks ago:
I thought you were the one advocating for better methods? Pretty lazy advocate lol. I’m just challenging you and … nothing.
- 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 weeks ago:
Surely within the 6000+ articles that cite it there is a great study going to town on Poore and Nemecek.
- 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 weeks ago:
It’s a “glib comment” you’re making to further discredit the study. I could be wrong but I don’t think you’ve posted any actual studies that talk about what’s wrong with the Poore Nemecek article. It was published in 2018 so there should be plenty.
Instead, you say you “detailed” what’s wrong with the study when you, at best, gave a short overview. Then you made exaggerations to further discredit the study. You also say the study is so bad “it doesn’t take a degree in statistics or environmental science” to understand why it’s so bad.
You could very well be right but I just see someone puffing up their chest and not actually using intellectual methods to convey their point of view while expertly pretending to be doing 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 weeks ago:
For someone who seems so righteous and careful about saying the right thing, I think it’s funny you end with “telling 8 billion people to eat more or less of something” when that’s an obvious exaggeration on your part. Global meat consumption is highly skewed. For example, apparently, the US consumes 21% of the world’s meat (world population review, which cites FAO, 2010) yet accounts for about 4% of the world population.

I wouldn’t call this detailing the problems. You’ve listed a few. How much of cattle feed is cottonseed? In the US only or worldwide? I feel like you’re spreading misinformation.
