i am dubious that they do, in fact, have any similarities.

ok, which of these claims do you doubt?

going vegan reduces your impact on climate change
not using air conditioning reduces your impact on climate change

both. it seems to me that being vegan has never stopped the animal agriculture industry from growing. similarly, not-using air conditioning has never reduced the amount of energy produced. i'm open to being wrong about these, but i haven't seen any compelling evidence.
