When trying to change others perspectives, it’s all about phrasing new information in an approachable fashion. For those who’ve never truly thought of agriculture’s impact on the climate, hearing there’s a much bigger footprint for it when compared to oil isn’t exactly approachable. So first explaining it’s larger is the smart move, as only after this is understood does it make sense to cover the extent.
This could just be me though, as a vegan I’m often asked why by others. Explaining the primary reason is the environment alone gets a crazy range of responses, from confusion to disbelief. This being the case, I’d say getting people to accept the climate footprint ranking of each is the logical first step. Especially when breaking this down for someone who’s never actually considered the impact of agricultural on our planet!
