We don't have time to tell people to start making individual choices? What? How long does it take to tell someone? No wonder you think 'why bother' with anything if China and India aren't doing it. Defeatism at it's worst.
I'll mention it one more time - change starts with the individual and bubbles upward. Carbon taxes and environmental policy are implemented by people motivated to do better. You need to accept this as the root of human ingenuity, cultural change, and community growth. Societal change happens when individuals make rational choices to implement it, and use social mechanisms to achieve it on a macro-level scale.
Now, if you have fantastic research on hand regarding livestock production and how it's less of a footprint than other dietary sources, I'd be happy to see data and science. Please provide the links to the research you are referring to.
