"Just stop oil"

by stopping eating meat and dairy

but everyone has to eat, whilst its just a few percent of the population are burning those aviation 3%, so the 3% have bigger personal carbon footprints,
and the aviation contribution needs just as much criticism ... aviation offenders should be easy sticking for JSO.

Thanks to Russia and the Ukraine war there is a massive up tick in military aviation - both NATO and Russia are flying loads of heavy transports around, etc.

Not to mention other impacts of the war like the massive oil depot fires, etc.

The difference is that there is a real alternative to beef which is by far the biggest contributor that could be deployed now. It's called eating plants or even chicken is considerably less impact.

There is no realistic alternative to the impacts of aviation or shipping which isn't reverting the economy back to how it worked in 1900, that sounds really fun.

Fight the battles that you can actually win and save the currently impossible for another day.

Strangely this always becomes so polarised, same with things like EVs, and hybrid solutions which may provide a better or more practical stopgap often get little attention.

Reconstruction using a million tonnes of steel reinforced concrete dwarfs that. Also rebuilding dams, hardening borders to prevent a recurrence. Ukraine may just become the top user of cement and steel after or slightly before China.

Beats a few cow emissions in the fields.

Whats your point though? One we have control over the supply of, the other we do not.
 
lol, well its us, we're creating the problem by breeding and killing 80 billion land animals a year, and we can reduce the impact massively by stopping eating meat and dairy, its not complex.

Il post the link again, maybe actually read it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66238584
Can you advise how much land would be required to grow all the extra vegetables etc if the world switched to vegan.
It won't be a like for like swap from cattle as the weather won't be suitable in a lot of cattle regions.
Look back 10 or so years when palm products were touted as the next best thing.
Forests got flattened to make way for the palm.
Great eco system there.

We would use less land and less resources. What uses more crops, 8 Billion humans or 80 Billion land animals? (dont even need farmed fish to prove the point)

Try growing your vegetables in texts, for example, where cattle are.
Completely the wrong environment

Edit.. found a vegetable exporters map.
China wins again it seems, how much carbon footprint is involved in the transport.


And if oil is stopped then they will come on a slow boat from China.

Plenty of studies have shown that veganism would lead to a massive drop in deforestation.
Beef is on there, however it notes palm and soy is close behind in the number 1 category.

1. INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE
2. TIMBER LOGGING
3. MINING
4. EXPANSION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
5. CLIMATE CHANGE

I'm all for reducing the emissions in the world for the health of all, however i won't be joining the vegan band wagon.

I take it all the protestors on here are vegan, so they are supporting what they are saying?

Uh huh, and what do we do with all that soy? https://ourworldindata.org/soy

"More than three-quarters (77%) of global soy is fed to livestock for meat and dairy production."

I think theres only 2 vegans on here iirc. Its an animal rights movement anyway, not environmental. Of course people go plant based/vegan for different reasons.
