    WTF? This doesn’t make any sence. How did fossil fuels help people reproduce? And I would say most of technology was powered by humans, the rest by coal. Also, in 1850 the oil was much more accessible, but now it is way harder to drill out. And even if fossil fuels were the best, that doesn’t mean they remain the best forever.

    I work for a small family business and last summer on Friday around 12 a blackout came. The boss was currently on vacation, but he allowed us to use his pool in his nearby house. We also checked, if he hadn’t forgotten some soon to expire food in the fridge and helped him make space for more wine bottles ;) Around 4 pm the power came back and we could go home to a working household. Sometimes we speculate, purely theoretically, how could we repeat such Friday.

    Most people easily overlook misery of others.

    For me, it is habit, culture and the extra work to get started. It is much easier to just get a lunch menu and not to care about it.

    But of course you are right, there is no good reason to not go vegan, as there is no good reason to ignore global warming, reject clean energy sources, EVs,…

    I remember I saw a statistics that China is producing twice more emmisions per person and USA four times more.

    And I found this is pretty website with a lot of comparison Our World in Data - CO2 Emissions. Europe was producing almost exclusively til 1900 but since then USA dominated until China took over in 2000. According to the page, EU was responsible for 6.3% of all emissions in 2024, and Europe in total for 12.7%. Pretty much equal to USA emmisions. And while it is much more then South America, Africa and Oceania, it is still a fraction of Asia emmisions.
