Until you really show me some sacrifice, I dismiss such people as only believing in climate change because it is (1) Cool (2) Let's them feel superior or (3) a political talking point.

I concur on your opinion about global warming. The first IPCC meeting in 1988 had three phases. The first phase was mostly a meeting of the scientists but the last phase was dominated by the politicians and bureaucrats. I researched it at the time because of all the scaremongering about the destruction of the planet.

However the demand for animal protein leads to substantial waste of water. Beef can take 1500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. Not to mention the pollution created. And it takes 20x the land to produce that same amount of calories for plants.
If someone has other data to the contrary please enlighten me.
