Ask someone who is invested heavily in climate change, or who acts like they are heavily invested like Elon Musk, if they are vegan or if they have an animal based diet, or if they take private jets, or what they are personally doing to reduce their carbon footprint, and the answer you get is often not great. There is such a thing as leading by example, and if someone doesn't then it doesn't mean what they are saying is wrong. It is the classic: do as I say, not as I do. The reality is that the solutions we find for people will likely need to not change their standard of living, so we have large battery cars, or solar panels on roofs, sustainable construction materials, recycled products, or we try to create engineered meat, or whatever, because human nature is the hardest thing to change. If it was easier then everyone would be successful, fit, with basic needs, etc.
This guy pointed out the same thing you did. It is a good point:
