    But while this is something that has to be done on a larger and organized scale, and while your alternatives for mobility might be limited, an easy choice for people is to eat less meat. Or at least substitute beef with lamb or chicken.

    Food spans social, religion, race, culture, countries, regions and a ton of other things I can’t think of. In your little American bubble, you probably can survive perfectly fine if you choose to be a vegan. I live in Taiwan and don’t eat sugars/carbs. It’s so difficult to survive here with this simple restriction and I live in a 1st world country. China is the highest producer of emissions, and they are a 3rd world country.

    Sometimes it’s not a simple choice to eat less meat. Maybe it’s your culture to mostly consume meat. Again, even if you made everyone in the world to stop eating meat, nothing happens.

    One of the difficulties of climate change is that it os a complex problem requiring many approaches at the same time. But we can and should take the approaches within our reach and demand politics to take the approaches that have to he taken on a societal level.

    It’s a complex problem. We need complex solutions. Stop focusing your efforts on non-needle moving strategies that might work in an extremely narrow use case. It will only divide us since it shifts the blame from fossil fuels to the people.
