Gore understands that this news is hard to hear. “We are all vulnerable to denial,” he says.
So true! A mass movement towards veganism is the surest way to reduce Short Lived Climate Forcers and arrest climate change while we convert our energy infrastructure over to renewable sources. The latter intervention requires 14-28 trillion dollars and time, while the former can be accomplished in short order, provided the general public is motivated to participate by our environmental and faith leaders. But if Al Gore and Bill McKibben (and the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu) continue to eat meat, then we shouldn't be surprised that the general public is unconvinced of the urgency of climate change action and continues to be swayed by the denial machine of the fossil fuel interests. People watch what we do, not what we say.
Therefore, Go Vegan, Mr. Gore! Please overcome your vulnerability to denial!! And thanks for all that you do!!!

So True! A mass movement towards veganism is the surest way to reduce Short-Lived Climate Forcers and make an immediate impact on halting climate change as we change our energy infrastructure over to renewable sources. The latter intervention takes time and 14-28 Trillion dollars, while going Vegan can be accomplished in short order if our environmental leaders and faith leaders set examples and request people to do so. The severe drought in the US and looming global food shortages are also good humanitarian reasons to go vegan. But if Al Gore and Bill McKibben (and the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu) continue to eat meat, then they are also in denial on the pace and urgency of climate change and shouldn't be shocked that the general public is swayed by the denial machine of the fossil fuel interests. People watch what we do, not what we say.
