> In 2018, the industry accounted for 2.4 percent of global emissions and has single-handedly contributed to about 4 percent of observed human-caused climate change to date.

Drastically reduce consumption of meat and dairy. And buy less stuff. Simple, really.

Just curious, if flying's contribution to "observed human-caused climate change to date" is overrepresented (4%) compared to its share of global emissions (2.4%), then what is/are the activity or activites that are underrepresented?

Like, what generates lots of emissions but is a much smaller deal in terms of climate change?
