Climate Change

[gus]

While I understand that eating meat has impacts*, its small potatoes. The vast majority of carbon emissions come from a small number of multinational corporations. stopping their irresponsible damaging conduct is far more important than depriving people of meat if the goal is to stop global warming. Talking about meat is falling for the corporate propaganda that seeks to deflect the blame from where it belongs and to alienate the 90% of the population who eats meat - the vegetarian talking points on this issue are the puppets of big business.

*there are also moral/ethical reasons to not eat meat which are fine, but irrelevant to the issue of global warming.

Making responsible choices means I'm falling for corporate propaganda? Ok. But the larger point is correct - there are bigger drivers.
