On topic as it mentions transport sector.
Good news if you don't drive a car and are a vegan. Very bad news if
you do drive a car and also eat meat. Also bad news if your either
drive a car or eat meat.
"...This morning, six Climate Camp activists have occupied the roof of
Smithfield meat market [1] to highlight the links between climate
change
and meat consumption. The activists have dropped a banner bearing the
message "Fight Climate Change - Go Vegan".

You're not exactly the best walking, talking advert for vegans.
I had a super-fit vegan Grandad. Cycled 20+ miles most days, road raced and time trialed most weeks for 40+ years. Died of bowel cancer when he was 71. My other, meat eating, lazy (well, agrophobic and full of shrapnel from the war) grandad smoked 60 filterless cigs a day, never moved unless it was to change the TV over, ate meat with gusto, as well as every other full fat, unhealthy thing and died at 78. My old aunty, another 60 a day smoker and meat eater died at 87.
Oh, and my vegan Grandad - a totally self-righteous, critical, nasty piece of work. I was not sad when he died. Only my gran and aunt were. None of his other 4 kids were.
Who does that remind one of?
