Content warning inside the content warning for climate justice griping (sorry, I felt like I couldn't put this in the content warning proper without it being a spoiler as well)

I do agree with the premise of Ogres that people on the whole are unlikely to change themselves and probably need to be changed (although I'd argue probably more culturally rather than genetically, and also ideally not against their will, but this is also my idealism vs a fictional story).

HOWEVER, what I do disagree with quite a bit here here is the plot point of "solving" climate change by causing people to not eat meat and consume less. On the technicality front, not that it wouldn't help, but it's just such a drop in the bucket that this can't be The Solution :tm:. (I'll try not to inject more cynicism as to what level of impossible solutions I believe are required at this point.) More galling for me is that this framing spreads the blame out to all of humanity. This is the "maybe humanity should make better individual choices" personal responsibility argument. Take shorter showers, eat less meat, teehee. In reality, my feeling is that there are clear climate villains (who have addresses, as the saying goes). It's the billionaires using disproportionate resources, it's the oil execs spreading lies, it's governments dragging their feet.

This is a message for the 1970's and not the 2020's.
