The entire worlds cargo ships emit 3% of the planets GHG emissions.

Animal agriculture is 15-20%. It's equal to the ENTIRE transport sector (cars, trucks, boats, planes etc).

As a consumer you can't easily change your cargo ship usage, or cars or planes, but you can absolutely change your diet, literally today.

I did! And I grew up on a dairy farm in rural NZ.

Which continent? Antarctica? It wouldn't surprise me, but it seems like an entirely useless comparison to make.

IDK why you're getting downvoted, a large cargo ship can emit the same amount of co2 as 50 million cars https://maritimepage.com/cargo-ship-co2-emissions/

Perhaps the people downvoting you are the same kind of people without a sense of proportion, who think that turning off an LED light bulb saves the environment.

It could also be that you don't provide a solution. So here it goes: want to cut co2? Buy locally produced goods. If you live in the northern hemisphere strawberries aren't in season in January, and it's a good chance that neither are tomatoes or avocado.

Not going to claim it really matters that much. Everyone chooses their own principles and battles to make themselves feel better. We trie to cut out as much meat as possible.

Beef, because it pollutes the most globally.

Most pork because they're clever and the nitrate pollution in my particular part of the world due to pig manure threatens the local ground water

So our chicken consumption went up a bit, but mostly the tofu consumption. Doesn't mean we're religious or even the least bit of preachy about it, god I hate those ppl. But it makes you feel better if you think you're at least a bit in control of some things. Like your own diet.
