    Why mention Mediterranean? Does a vegetarian Hindu diet not have the same affect?

      Because it’s not what they tested in the study. If the Hindu vegetarian diet includes dairy, I doubt it’d be as efficient as a vegan diet

        Ok, it never occurred to me that even if you actively worship your source of dairy…still not vegan…

            I know Hindus drink plenty of cow milk and in part worship cows for that life giving, that is what I’m talking about.

      Diets differ a lot and Hindu is far more vegetarian than Mediterranean.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
