    There is no other way to prevent that much emissions for basically not changing anything.

    Not having kids prevents far more emissions than not eating meat, and changes my life even less then a diet change.

      Only if you didn’t want to have kids anyways. In which case it should not be counted as a saving.

      If you want to have kids but don’t because of climate, that’s probably tougher to stomach than a slight composition change on your plate.

        I’m thinking of changing my life as a change to what’s happening now, not what may happen in the future.
