    My statement was in general with these famous non-animal burgers. To see that, you need to see a trend line over changes over time.

    Some are holding onto more sodium. That’s on them, but if you think you can do that math on how bad that sodium is vs the rest of the factors, good luck.

      impossible Burger’s sodium levels haven’t changed in at least four years:

      Oh wait, here’s a source from six years ago, still 370 mg:

      Seven, still the same:

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/10/23/an-impossible-burger-dissected/

      Apparently there was 30% more sodium at launch, and it was reduced to a whopping 370 mg around 2019:

      So the original formula had over 6× as much sodium as beef. Still very much room for improvement.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
