As opposed to Al Gore, who was awarded a Nobel Prize for his novel efforts at answering the age old question, "How can I force other people to change what they're doing so I don't have to change anything about how I live?"
- shakezula 4y agoAl Gore could change everything about his life and effectively change nothing about the climate, what’s your point? It’s a complete non-sequitur to point out one advocate’s lifestyle when it’s a global problem. It’s actually just disingenuous.

Influencing culture, groupthink, mindshare is the most powerful thing one can do to affect change. This highlights that vegans are not solely interested in minimizing meat consumption but rather also put weight on the burden of their own conscious. A raindrop is nothing compared to a flood.

We didn’t expect consumers to address CFCs and the ozone hole, or leaded gas and it’s harmful emissions. Why do we expect CO2 to be any different?
