Reducing your meat consumption is likely the most effective way of lowering your personal climate ‘footprint’.

I hear this a lot, but I think the context of what other actions are available and their relative impact is important in this kind of discussion.

Of course, this is all with the knowledge that trying to put the onus of fixing climate change on the individual is both doomed to fail and a great burden for many. Climate change can only be properly addressed by top-down action, which we should all advocate for.

I don't like eugenicist propaganda

Could you explain how the graph is eugenecist? I would agree if it were targeted toward a specific demographic, but from what I can tell that isn't the case here. /gen

it's also worth pointing out that malthusianism is next to eugenics

poor people tend to have more kids, rich people tend to create more waste.

Too bad they crammed hard malthusianism at the end of the graph.
