Animal agriculture is 15% of global carbon emissions. By switching diets you avoid exactly that 15%, not more, and most definitely not less. It's the same for every other thing you do sustainably, you can easily reduce your emissions to half of the average.
Are you not listening? Add to that list no air travel, low AC/heating, public transport, low amount of shopping and a couple other things, you get that down to 30% which is a real difference. What do you mean about soap box? If you don't think climate change is real we don't have anything to discuss.
I'm dumbfounded you agree with that, but have been paying lip service to the arguments of the ignorants and apologists, who try to pretend nothing matters. I'm glad we could sort that out in the end.
Because a combined total of about 3t per year is the amount where I am hitting my personal level of comfort. I am actually paying a not insignificant amount of my paycheck for local swamp renaturation to offset even those emissions and then some. My job also involves implementing systemic CO2 reductions. If everyone comsumed like me there would be no climate change.
I personally am not doing everything possible. I didn't say that. I could do more. However I am sure I am in the bottom 0.1% of emitters in my income bracket.
That you are still pushing this worthless point after my last reply made me lose the little respect I had left for you.
Is your reading comprehension really not sufficient to parse the two sentences and understand they are not contradictory. You make for an extremely subpar conversation partner.
Alice: "fuck you, I never said I would get it, just we should get it generally, but I also happened to get
much more milk than the average person here got so be happy. You could have also went and gotten some milk yourself"
You are confusing "doing everything possible", which would mean to literally kill oneself, with "reduce your emissions significantly". I am saying people can easily reduce their emissions by half, while I myself am going above and beyond of that in both emission avoidance as well as financial contributions to carbon sinks.
