Mainstream American conservatives aren't the definition of conservative.

There's conservatives in every country, not every country seeks perpetual war.

A lot of Americans need to realise that your two party system is a cancer. You only have two mainstream accepted views, your political system inherently promotes an us Vs them mentality.

Stop buying in to it. Just as liberals can be highly nuanced and disagree with each other on almost every issue, so can conservatives.

The best individual way is actually to cut out any long-haul flights or stop flying as frequently. Going vegan is still very good way at reducing your emissions though.

No it isn't for the simple fact a lot of people don't fly at all, let alone long haul.

Everyone eats food, everyone can make changes there.

This should be obvious really.

No government is beholden to others when it comes to stopping asteroids hitting the planet. Doesn't really matter whether it's the US, EU or China, I imagine each would let others know out of courtesy, but if they felt their was a legitimate risk to the planet they wouldn't let the others just prevent them stopping it.

If there were any political fallout or argument, it would undoubtedly come after the decision is made, not before.

The future is giant fucking space lasers.

Except this assumes the child will live with the same carbon footprint as their parents, and assumes that every category after that will apply to the child in future. It's a completely misleading statement to make.

If you were to birth a child in a Carbon neutral society, that society would not suddenly become carbon positive.
