Haven't eaten meat for over 10 years. Other than having to manage my feelings of superiority nothing much has changed.

Change needs to be a lot more radical than reducing global CO2 by.. maybe 20%?

If we live plant-based we'll need a lot of less land. We'd need some serious land to free up this land for the wild and rebuild eco systems. And it would still not be enough, because the rising heat will just destroy it anyway.

So expensive sequestering technology at source needs to be made mandatory globally and everybody will feel the hit of that. Producing (and sequestering) CO2 will be so expensive that the market will find viable, cheaper alternatives.
