    There are often talks of carbon taxing, but removing subsidies would seen to be the obvious first step. Subdiside greener options instead.

        Do you think so? From the people I know I think cutting meat and fossil fuel subsidises would be very unpopular. We have climbing food prices so if meat became more expensive I think there might be uproar - it’s needed though!

    Throw in the trucking industry and the autoindustry for good measure. SUVs and big trucks have caused car fatalities to skyrocket.

    Because if fuel/milk/meat doubled or tripled in price, and the average member of the developed world would riot, and the guys in charge like being in charge. To the terminally online people, you are not the average. Just because you have a diet that gurgles gonads, or don’t have to drive a lot for your work, doesn’t mean the rest also don’t have to.
