Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change? (feddit.cl)

Its a drop in the ocean and I'm going to come off negative here but your up against jets, deliveries on demand from across the globe, mass meat industry and oil companies that will lobby against their destruction and in tern for mass extinction. If you really want to fight climate change move somewhere that won't see the effects, install solar learn to live off the land. An alternative if not too late become a revolutionary topple capitalism the system that allowed us to get to this point and beyond.

"live off the land"? You are about 5 billion people too late for that.

Dude, leave the meat alone. Humans have been eating meat for tens of thousands of years and there was never a problem. It's the life style we have which created the demand for cars, deliveries, heavy machinery spinning. Those are bigger enemies. Meat is like you said, a drop in the ocean.

If one wants to individually help reduce their carbon footprint, the biggest things one could do is to...

Not have children
Not eat meat (or animal by-products)
Not take international flights

Some people want kids, and some people want to travel. Some people want to eat meat, and that's ok too. But I'm pretty sure those are the top 3 things an individual can do to reduce their personal carbon footprint.

What a stupid argument, why don't you go full power and use the same for oil?
