The KISS solution would be to shoot all 1.4B cows on earth. That would slow climate change significantly and give us enough time to transition the world into using renewable resources. Also before I get downvoted for suggesting such an appalling idea as going on a cow murdering genocide, stop and reflect about the origin of that big piece of meat you ate for dinner tonight. Let's kill these cows once and for all.

The only arguments against it are capitalist.

China and Japan are both quite unfriendly to outsiders and ridiculous choices to compare with a country formed almost entirely of immigrants from the quite recent past.

#25Not surprised to see the left slowly distancing itself from environmentalism (save climate hysteria), given the coming African population bomb: http://theconversation.com/theres-a-strong-chance-that-one-t... 4.5 billion Africans by 2100 will mean ecological devastation the likes of which we've never seen, and traditional environmentalism will increasingly prove difficult to reconcile with anti-racism.
If we haven't learned how to live sustainably by 2100, we'll have wrecked the planet anyway. Future environmentalism will likely be about helping developing countries skip the extremely polluting stage of development.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Methane accounts for less than 20% of all GHG emissions (in CO2 equivalent units), and cows are only responsible for a part of that. Reducing the number of cattle is important, but killing all cattle would only buy us a few years before we have to completely decarbonize the global economy. In industrialized economies, agriculture's relative impact is even lower, since we emit so many GHGs from other sources.
It's still a significant contributor of methane. This change wont happen overnight of course but more alt meat companies such as beyond meat and impossible burger will be able to engineer superior food products that will eventually price real meat out of the market. The cow populations will suffer slowly as will their corporate slave masters.

What you have just stated is a very good example of eco fascism.

Japan is actually getting quite friendly lately, as a full-time remote worker have been investigating moving there for a while.
