Business As Usual
Caption:
spoiler
A "hypocrisy" type meme with two images:
Top: photo of a military squad, all geared up, standing ready next to an armored vehicle. Caption: "Germany against scientists sitting in protest for climate"
Bottom: photo of a bunch of military personnel playing while wearing clown makeup. Caption: "Germany against farmers wanting to lynch government members because diesel subsidy needs to be cut"
Imported goods from far away countries, that gets delayed because the climate protestors blocked the road. And this in a endless cycle.

Transportation is the bit colored in red.
I am just looking at the beef vs coffee. I assume this is by weight. I drink too much coffee but the amount I use in a day has to be a small fraction of the amount of beef I have eaten in a single meal.
It's an interesting way to look at it.
Yeah it still shows, that those red parts could have been almost 0. Your point is probably to eat only vegan i guess. Just a question about the diagramm, would it take in if all of them are import ( via airplane ) or are they all calculated if they are in the same country?
Idc about those tbh, my choice stands, we should help the local farmers and help them reduce their emissions.
There's a link under the image that details what and how this works
We are helping them to reduce their emissions. With diesel subsidies removed, a farmer has an economic advantage when saving fuel vs a wasteful competitor.
Reduce farmers ahh yes then their fields get built upon and they cant go back. Congrats you reduced local emissions to 0 but increased the rate of imports from far away countries.
Reduce emissions, not farmers.
You are the only one that probably understands that.
