People should keep in mind that even if we stop adding more carbon into the atmosphere today it still wouldn’t stop climate change because all the carbon we’ve put there already isn’t going anywhere. To truly stop and reverse climate change requires carbon capture in one way or another. It’s something we have to do.
We’re sooooo far from even thinking about reversing climate change that this argument, though valid, sounds very misplaced. If can’t even get my friends, who are otherwise smart and decent people, to consider not eating meat.
Try slow changes for them first. Impossible burgers are actually very tasty! And if seasoned well, taste pretty close to the real thing. Maybe convince them to do a day off meat per month at first, with these burgers to replace it.
Meat in vats has also made some real strides recently, not quite a polished product yet, but once it is I suspect that agriculture will rapidly switch, because it’s so much cheaper to make than growing and slaughtering animals. I expect the cow/chicken/pig/goat population to plummet in the next couple decades, much the same way that the horse population did in the early 20th century. We’ll stop eating them directly. We’ll keep them as pets. Some people already do keep them as pets.
Spay and neuter your cats and dogs people!
… Which is more reason to invest in carbon capture.
Ok we get it your vegan.
*you’re
Ok we get it you like Grammer and your ;) a vegan…
Believe me, I am not trying to point out that I am vegan. It’s not like I am building a name for myself. I only use this handle on the fediverse.
However, I do like to point out that we’re screwing the planet and the animals with our behavior. Sometimes people listen, instead of trying to put me in a box or becoming defensive. That has a small chance of making the world just a tiny bit better.
And if you really must put me in a box, then you can put me in a box with other well educated people who also happen to have some basic understanding of grammar. I don’t love grammar at all by the way. It’s not my field.
If only there was some kind of creature doing it that also provides oxigen in some way…
