Salon: Skipping every fourth burger or fourth glass of milk might save the Earth from CO2-induced emergency

Would we give up burgers to stop climate change? - Salon.com
essentially, if every fourth time someone craved, say, beef, chicken or cow milk they instead opted for a veggie burger, a bean burrito or water, we have a chance to halt the emergency.
...we will never be able to combat the crisis until everyone is willing to sacrifice just a little bit

Eating a bean burrito will result in large emissions of anthropogenic methane, which has a global warming potential up to 72 times higher than an equivalent amount of CO2. This is a net positive feedback, making global warming accelerate even faster-er. Its worse than they thought!
Vegans are anti-climate!
