This isn't where we fix the problem. All love and respect for Vegans, but there is no chance we can save environment by making everybody else miserable like this. Most people would hate a Vegan diet, to the point of simply not complying and preferring Global Warming/Climate Change.

Also, there is little point in adopting a Vegan diet while ignoring the much bigger opportunity of Nuclear Energy.

I love how some people think we wouldn't rather have war to thin out numbers than to all agree to eat vegan.

Like obviously people would choose war.

It's the same with "climate refugees": if we get to that stage there won't be razor wire and a fully deployed military who will shoot on sight. Same with "let's all get rid of our cars": the public would complain but we'd easily engage in all our warfare to maintain a standard of living. Its cool if individuals want to opt out, but most won't.

I will never inconvenience myself in the name of fighting climate change. Anti-nuclear diehards can assume that responsibility if they want to keep hamstringing the only thing that is going to make a real difference.
