Most estimates state agriculture contributes <10 % of the greenhouse emissions, while altogether industry, transport and electric power make up > 75 %.
So then let's assume we all switch to meat free diets. If we assume a vegetarian diet is ~50 % the energy consumption of a meat diet (in terms of kWh/d/p) that only gives at most a 5 % reduction in global energy consumption.
Yes it's not totally insignificant, but it's not enough to address the problem to the point where it should be a primary goal for climate activists.
Meanwhile if we can improve the viability of more carbon-neutral sources of energy, provide more efficient heating of homes ect. then we would largely solve the issue to the point where we could probably keep eating meat. Of course the only way of doing this is technological development, yet I don't see thunburg or her climate activists calling for development in these areas. Rather than technological the push is towards political reforms which only placate the masses instead of fix the problem.
>Nuclear is good, but people in power don't know how it works and are therefore scared. Same is true for the hippies unfortunately.Well yeah and Greta certainly isn't helping there, which is the main point.
