Sorry, didn't realize I was talking to someone who believed making changes at the margin don't matter.
None of your arguments justify continued high meat consumption. I don't own a car, I recycle, I live in an apartment, don't have children, thrift, compost, ??eat less?? (no - I eat sustainably, and it more than makes up for the amount I eat).
> The militant "your opinion is bullshit" on individual issues
Thinking you're wrong isn't "militant" - it's just thinking that you're wrong. Learn to have a discussion.
People don't take climate change seriously because they're able to hide behind moral excuses for their own behavior, not because they're turned off because a vegan was mean to them once.
I think it kind of gets lost in this debate- but lets say that the facts point towards a very grim outcome in the relatively near future.
Now lets say we could possibly mitigate the grimness of that outcome with our actions...wouldn't it make sense for all of us to do everything in our power? What would we lose? A burger tastes good, sure, but who gives a flying fuck if the planet is essentially uninhabitable?
