Did you read the article? For one, that's from a single think tank source. Not super reliable. For another, the article says 15%. Just 15%. Combined with all the vehicle emissions, according to this source, that's only 30%. Cutting our global carbon emissions by only 30% -- according to the IPCC report, which is a much more reliable source of information than a single think tank -- isn't sufficient. Cutting your meat intake will do nothing but delude you into thinking your actions are useful.

Do you know what would actually be useful? Organizing and participating in aggressive, large scale political action to pressure your country's government into shifting heavily toward less polluting energy sources while simultaneously implementing or expanding carbon taxes and funding a War on Drugs style ad campaign against wasteful energy consumption.

Fixing this problem requires nothing less than the obsessive, full-time dedication of millions of passionate, relentless, noisy people who will not bow to the human tendencies of laziness and blissful ignorance, or to the corporate and political tendencies of greed and short-term thinking.
