Reminder that eating less meat is the single largest thing an individual can do to combat climate change, on a personal level.

Not sure how this could possibly be true. Agriculture is only 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity, heating, and transportation are each far larger. Switch your electricity to renewables, then change your heating and cooling to that electricity, and stop driving your fossil fuel powered vehicle everywhere. Buy local when you can.

Somone scarily reminded me recently that Alaskan oil pipelines are anchored into "permafrost". Which you'd think if anyone would have realized wouldn't remain so perma frosted would have been the oil companies. What else do you do, I guess?
