No one is going to agree to such non-trivial impacts to their lives so long as it seems unfair. I will never give up meat, but will do so tomorrow if we blocked all mass global transportation networks, mandated fruit trees in all houses, and blockaded all imports from China. Those are far bigger issues for me and that means I'll be stubborn as a voter.
- wolvesechoes 3y agoYeah, that is my issue with all that climate-saving, top-down efforts. Normal people have to ditch everything: meat, travels, stoves. And they probably really should, but EVERYONE should do that. Yet, those that advice or enforce such polices always have some excuse that justifies their exclusion from their own policies. So it is not that suprising that there so much resistance, because it really is just another way for the rich and powerful to keep poor people in their places.
