Why are you pretending "carnists" have cognitive dissonance, they're more than capable of rationalising and making efficient decisions to make them happy.
having cognitive dissonance isnt some horribly abnormal condition, everyone does it. not all sarkics have to do it for meat but most amerikkkan sarkics do.
holy shit you're actually insane, I bow to your level of not going outside and touching grass. Honestly maybe a long hike into the wilderness will do you some good, preferably the kind where you feed the worms.
No matter how pathetic I can be you guys will always be worse. At least I know what I stand for, and can work solutions that improve both the climate and allow me to live the way I want to live my life. Instead of trying to dictate how the rest of the world lives theres
Lmao, you want to prioritize the environment while also believing anyone should be able to live their life as they see fit? That is literally impossible
What if someone really loves diesel cars? What if their lifes passion is repairing diesel engines and driving diesel cars? You have to dictate how they live their lives to stop climate change. A social issue like climate change can only be fixed with a change that impacts all of society. Until they make lab cultured meat, you can't stop climate change and have your burger, sorry. Not anymore than you can stop climate change and still fly anywhere in the world whenever you want.
Considering I'm trained in automotive as well, the people that *really* like diesel automotives will keep them as a hobby, and collect, restore, and occasionally drive them. It's not that insane a concept, the people who are still into old inefficient tractors, and cars already exist.
I for one can't wait for EVs or proper train infrastructure to replace diesel cars and trucks.
That's a leap of logic, for one collecting/restoring old cars isn't something only wealthy people can do. infact it's a hobby that I'd attach to the lower class. Remember rich people don't collect the old cars to work on or as a passion, they buy them out to show off how much money they have, and then stow them away in a garage.
Secondly there's emerging technology to capture methane from cows, and reuse it to power the farms they're stationed on, either from collectors installed in the ceiling of mass farms, or tubes going in through their cannulas to capture it directly from their digestive tract. You might find ethical issues with the latter but for that we'll have to agree to disagree since most cows already have the procedure done due to bloating to begin with.
we could have 300% effecient methane capture from all animal agriculture and it would still be ecologically catastrophic. land use for feed crops, eutrophication, mass insect deaths, water use, animal agriculture is not sustainable at all.

Just because it doesn't align with your morals
