How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Is this a vegan org? It doesn't mention anything about their members adhering to a plant-based diet, and it would certainly make me uncomfortable if they weren't.
While going vegan is a good thing for the environment, not everyone can or is willing to switch completely. You can reduce your meat intake and eating more plant based foods without going full vegan.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough, especially at an individual level.
I mean if you feel better you do it, but actual actions regarding the climate would be laws that force the industry to act on their emissions.
Which in return will make meat more expensive and therefore people will eat less.
Pretty much yeah, individual actions are important but meaningless if not followed by government regulation.
