I’m slightly fed up with being promised that going meat free will get me a livable planet when I retire because I have fucking delivered my end of the bargain. I want my livable planet now.
It’s like
“You can improve our situation if you grab a thimble and start scooping water out of the boat now.”
“There’s still the giant hole in the hull that brings in a lot more water than my little thimble can deal with. What do we do about that?”
Yeah. The beef thing has become the main call to action while ignoring that beef consumption has been falling since the 70’s. It’s also not clear how much of that carbon is part of the existing carbon cycle.
The solution is adding less carbon to the existing cycle which means stopping pumping including and especially “natural” gas.
Everything else is performative.
Only when we stop adding it to our environment can we have any hope at sequestration.
