This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.
When AI would have been the better choice.
The concept that generalising statements are still applicable, even if they are not correct for every single person in the generalised group, is a bit complex, but if you sit down and think hard about it you might get it.
That's great and I am happy for you how well your lifestyle seems to be going. Rural is always a challenge when avoiding meat, I know how much effort it can mean. Good on you for hanging in there.
Almonds have their issues, but that said are still ahead of the curve in regards to envirmental impact in comparison to animal products.
Yeah, I see your point. If it's just about emissions full plant based of course would still be the best outcome, because even diary products have a huge environmental impact. Not as bad as meat, but still considerably higher than any plant based choice. I found it fascinating that an avocado that has been shipped across the ocean to Europe still is a better choice than local diary products, enviormentaly speaking.
In regards to research etc. I get your point. I tranaiended from vegetarian to vegan about 10 years ago and the first half year was a lot of research what I could buy and couldn't and how I should make meals in order to not run into any problems. After that it just became my new normal. It takes zero effort these days, minus the occasional struggle to find a good place of go out.
What is holding you back from going vegan or at least vegetarian? I'm not trying to judge, I'm just interested. If you care about the environment it would seem a logical choice, that's why I'm asking.
I still personally believe buying local is probably the best bet
You call it a belive rightfully, because in order to hold it you have to activly disregard the multiple studies that point to animal products beefing worse for the environment even if shipped around the world.
I am sorry if this doesn't agree with your world view. It's a reality that has been proven by multiple authors again and again now.
Also pretending that 4000 years ago humans were still hunter gatherers or something (it's kind of implied in the wording imo). 4000 years ago there were plenty of fairly developed civilisations around.
Water under the bridge, no worries. I didn't realize you had deleted your comment because I replied trough my inbox. I deleted the response.
Here I agree, the question isn't answered.
But:
"The science is clear. Extreme weather will only get worse, and the climate crisis will only accelerate.’'
How is that not a yes?
"Under Harris's climate plan as a 2019 presidential candidate, she advocated for a blend of government action and market forces to combat global warming."
It's not a yes because this is not a yes or no question. It gives a very clear answer though. How is this half credit?
"In 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies for electric cars and other clean-energy technology, including tax credits for clean-energy and energy-efficiency home projects."
That answers the question, again.
So, in 3 out of 4 questions the answers are very clear. And giving a "long" answer to a complex question is, in my opinion, appropriate.
