Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

    Thank you for that image. “big portion” is a bit vague, and this does clarify it. To me, 11% is quite a lot of that pie, when you think about:

    • Electricity is becoming greener every day due to solar and wind being cheaper than oil and gas
    • Transportation is getting greener via EVs
    • Industry is getting a focus from people trying to create green concrete and steel

    Here’s another chart that breaks down that agriculture portion. My understanding is methane is mostly due to cow farts, and nitrous oxide is mostly due to animal urine and fertilizers.

    We need to make impacts in all of these sectors, if we’re going to fix climate change.

    Re: meat tax, we could start by just not subsidizing meat and dairy.
