    Misleading headline right? if one person stopped eating meat it would clearly not be like taking 8 million cars off the road, if everyone on earth stopped eating meat then 8 million cars would be a drop in the ocean. So… the headline means what even you want it to mean.

        I was complaining about the headline itself, I understand the content.

      Exactly. Getting billions of people to stop eating meat is surely going to be harder than getting 8 million cars off the road.

        Exactly

        That’s really not my point. Climate change is a serious matter and needs to be treated better than by cheap misleading headlines like this.

        Article is just focused on the UK. So is more like getting 40million people to reduce their meat consumption (not stop) vs getting 8million UK cars off the road.

        They’re not saying people should stop eating meat entirely, they’re saying people should eat less i.e. swapping a burger with a bean casarole once a week or something. This is not a binary all-or-nothing situation. Every little helps, as they say.
