I don’t know how much Impossible Meat is because nobody around here carries it, but I would imagine it’s a bit pricey just for the name being so popular.

Having tried a fairly wide variety of vegan meat replacements, I personally found that Impossible meat was the most impressive. Their beef imitation is quite literally indistinguishable from the real thing. If anything, it's beefier than real ground beef. I can sometimes find it on sale at my local store for about $7 or $8 a pound, but usually it's more around $10 or $11. I always stock up on the beef or sausage when it's on sale, as my non-vegan family has fully embraced it, whereas they have been less receptive of other beef imitations (though they'll enjoy any old imitation chicken, which appears to be easier to replicate).

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.
