Sadly, this being Hacker News, it won't catch much attention and will be quickly flagged by people who have too much karma. But I think we are making progress, slowly, sadly too slowly, with the current summer we are having in Europe, of the impact of our past actions in the weather. And make no mistake, eating so much meat and drinking so much milk, is a huge impact we are inflicting on our planet. Please do not comment with "I do X" or "In our house, we avoid doing Y" - it is not about you and me, it is about society. I am convinced, you are convinced, we need everyone to be convinced. | ||||||||

Everyone apart from a few stragglers agree the climate is changing. Most people agree the world won’t change its behaviour on its own to stop that. So we can thus incentivise change (things like renewables being far cheaper than fossil fuel) globally, and adapt to reality. There are a vocal minority whining about how we need to stop eating beef or milk annd stop using energy and there are those who make beef and milk more sustainable and make generating energy sustainable. I have time for the latter. The former can go hand out with the coal rollers. | ||||||||

Beef specifically. If everybody switched to pork, chicken and fish that would mitigate most of this and it's a much more realistic ask. | ||||||||

It will be flagged because of the manipulative headline. | ||||||||
