I've read in an Article that meat production causes a lot of co² emission. Now I was wondering if we stopped eating meat completely, would that be sufficient to get under the threshhold of emissions what the planet can process? What is that threshold? Where are we now? How much does meat add to this?

going car free ...not flying ... switching your home to green energy ...veganism.

there are probably a thousand other things people could do. this study, for instance, didn't account for the impact of sabotaging fossil fuel extraction, refinement, or transportation infrastructure. almost anyone can turn a valve. by limiting the scope of this study to consumer choices, they have chosen to artificially limit the possibilities.

That is illegal. while you can choose to do illegal things, it just makes you look like a troll to suggest it as a viable option.

there are still probably thousands of options besides the four proposed.

Wow you really want to justify eating meat.

this accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith
