Climate activism has intensified in the past few years as the planet warms to dangerous levels, igniting more extreme heat, floods, storms and wildfires around the world.
Sorry but you are flatly incorrect. As a singular individual my choices matter little but as part of a larger whole they can make a difference if enough people do the same.
Emissions from the farming and transport of meat are huge and reducing that number would make an impact.
What you have bought into is the idea that you do not need to change at all
You mean the half of humanity without clean water, reliable electricity, and certainly no Internet emits less CO2 than the top 10% (630M!) wealthiest people in the entire world? There are not 630M Billionaires. There are not even 630M Millionaires. An income of $80-100k puts you at 10% worldwide.
Sure, go right ahead. Tell the family with an income of $80k that they need to cut out their use of private jets and mega yachts. That’ll fix climate change right up.
I was waiting for this article because I bet you never read this trash study. They assign the entire footprint to the business owner. Now who is responsible for the emissions of my local power plant, the CEO or the people using the power? This study says the CEO despite the fact the consumers dictate how much power is needed to be generated.
If you change the mind of one billionaire and you’ll have reached the same result as a million of ordinary people. But he’s got you convinced your mission is to punch down.

It’s understandable that you are overestimating your own impact.

Next time try reading your sources critically
