If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
simply reading the LCA studies cited by poore and nemecek will show they are misusing the data.
Surely within the 6000+ articles that cite it there must be a great study going to town on Poore and Nemecek, then.
or you could read their own citations.
I thought you were the one advocating for better methods? Pretty lazy advocate lol. I’m just challenging you and … nothing.
I told you where to find the information. I can’t make you read it.
You’re saying a study cited 6000+ times is so bad but you can’t produce a single well cited article that critiques it yet it is so obviously bad that anyone – without a degree in environmental science or statistics – can easily go throw the cited LCA studies and go “fuck this shit stinks”? Give me a fuckin break.
the studies they cite state explicitly that LCA studies should not be combined, which you would find if you read literally any of their abstracts.
