This article seems to take the stance that since lab-grown meat might not be adopted by everyone, that it won't solve the entire climate crisis and therefore takes away from other potential solutions.
I hate that kind of all-or-nothing sensationalism. Who's claiming that lab-grown meat will "solve" climate change to begin with? Is it not worth pursuing things that will help regardless?
I think the article is worried government will be distracted by cultured meat possibilities and use it as an excuse not to do anything about the problem of the current cattle industry. Politicians might think a little subsidy for fake meat is all they need to do and not actively discourage cattle (which is hard politically).
