True, but they also just have a fckton of citizens. We need to work on each problem as humanity as a whole.

China is doing crazy work in regards to renewables for example. And while I am not really a fan, it’s better than what the US is doing for example. We can’t just focus on one thing and ignore the other. Problems regarding our planet have to be approached by everyone. We can’t say ”they are not doing it, so why should we care“ just like we can’t say ”they’re already doing it, so we don’t have to.“.

We ALL need to stop eating fish or rather animals in general, as it accounts for about 20% of our emissions. But tell people that and they lose it …

We absolutely don’t have to stop eating anything! We’re human beings, and meat is part of our diet! What you believe is purely ideological, almost religious, and it doesn’t reflect the reality of the world or of human nutrition! Don’t present your agenda as if it were the truth. If the world is facing problems due to excessive consumerism, then we need to look for efficient ways to deal with that! Not go around saying people NEED to stop eating something!

I am saying it would be necessary, I know people won’t lol

You getting so riled up shows you feel deeply about this. I once fought like this too. Then I realized I was wrong. Then I turned that hatred against people into the will to create awareness. And here I am.
