    Maybe we can’t convince everyone to quit eating meat, but I would hope that we could appeal to self-described environmentalists, who have a stated interest in making sustainable changes.

    That’s the OP’s point, after all. That the science unambiguously states that we need to stop eating meat if we care about meeting our climate goals. Any environmentalist who learns that this needs to happen and still chooses to eat meat is acting against their own ethics.

      But you’re still pushing the responsibility to individuals, which is literally an oil company tactic.

      “You eat meat? Guess you aren’t a real environmentalist after all!” Is not the way we’ll get more people to quit eating meat. In fact you can’t even know why they eat meat despite knowing it’s bad for the environment. And it still won’t address the problem.

      This isn’t a race to moral purity.

        Ok but remember this part?

        We have a number of options – some fall on the shoulders of consumers; some on producers.
