    I mean, they’re both bad.

    But also, “Throw that burger in the trash I’m not eating it” and “Uninstall that plugin, I’m not querying it” have about the same impact on your gross carbon emissions.

    These are supply side problems in industries that receive enormous state subsides. Hell, the single biggest improvement to our agriculture policy was when China stopped importing US pork products. So, uh… once again, thank you China for saving the planet.

      Wait so the biggest improvement came when there was a massive decline in demand?

          So you did not export that much to China or was there a big “eat more pork” campaign because else where did the demand come from afterwards?
