    Animals aren’t as good as humans at surviving climate change, so caring about one should include caring about the other…

      It’s a single AI image. The impact of generating a single image is basically nothing. I think it’s a stupid post, but they should be able to post it without being denigrated about the effects of AI generated images

      This is a universal thing that happens to anyone advocating for positive change even if just tangentially to the environment. Constantly told it isn’t perfect enough. Greta Thunberg had her efforts constantly belittled, no matter how she did it. She spent months crossing the ocean on a boat to avoid taking a plane, but was still put on blast for it

      Advocating for a more sustainable way of life shouldn’t be met with a persistent, “but you’re not perfect”

        That’s generous of you to give this specific organization a pass on this but that’s your personal choice.

        Your ability to justify it is part of why everyone else thinks peta is a joke. It’s so dogmatic it’s become a religion.

      Firstly, human beings are animals.

      Secondly, there are plenty of examples of different species of animals that benefit - nay, thrive - because of climate change. Blanket statements such as yours is not helping either side.
