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?

Corporations are only producing things that people want.

Yea but not what you or I want. Or else they wouldn't have turned turned the entire tech industry into an AI Ponzi scheme.

Corporations exist to create value for their shareholders. AKA the people responsible for 2/3s of pollution.

We can all eat shit and die and corporations will still cut that shit with the last of the Amazonian sawdust.

Corporations killed localized food supplies and all but eliminated traditional perennial crops that provided a lot of the nutrition we now get from meat/dairy.
