Plant-heavy ‘flexitarian’ diets could help limit global heating, study finds - Lemmy.World

Maybe I’m being too pessimistic, but feels like this is yet another study to add to the mountain of evidence that people will ignore because they’ve deemed the taste of meat worth an impending global calamity. When will the average persons tipping point be? When oceanfront property is available in Tennessee?

Most people alive today will be dead before anything affects them. My parents have that attitude to global warming so fly out on holiday 2-3 times a year.

This change needs to happen from the top to force everyone’s hands, you can’t rely on the goodness of individuals because we’re all selfish fucks

I think “anything” is a huge stretch.

There are going to be noticeable effects, even in the first world, in the coming decades. Definitely half a century from now.

Don’t know about you guys, I’ll be dead by then
You said “most people alive today”, not “I”
