LSE junk study says if men didn’t eat so much red meat we’d have nicer weather

They really do want to turn men into women
The men are the climate vandals who carelessly wreck the Earth. If they would just eat the tofu and drive less, the world would be a better place, eh, especially for bourgeois academic femmebots in London. This is the kind of junk research that Big Government funding feeds. Someone spent a lot of money, and nobody learnt a thing.
Naturally, The Guardian lapped it right up:
Car use and meat consumption drive emissions gender gap, research suggests

Cars and meat are major factors driving a gender gap in greenhouse gas emissions, new research suggests.
Men emit 26% more planet-heating pollution than women from transport and food, according to a preprint study of 15,000 people in France. The gap shrinks to 18% after controlling for socioeconomic factors such as income and education.
But really the 26%-more-planet-polluting-men shrinks to a third once you account for men being, you know, bigger and more likely to travel further.
Eating red meat and driving cars explain almost all of the 6.5-9.5% difference in pollution that remains after also accounting for men eating more calories and travelling longer distances, the researchers said. They found no gender gap from flying.
The enemy of course, is “traditional gender norms”. Real men cause storms and floods. Toxic masculinity is raising Earth’s temperature:
Our results suggest that traditional gender norms, particularly those linking masculinity with red meat consumption and car use, play a significant role in shaping individual carbon footprints,” said Ondine Berland, an economist at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a co-author of the study.
From the paper, these genius economists think red meat consumption is just a male identity thing:
“Red meat and car — high-emission goods often associated with male identity — account for most of the residual, highlighting the role of gender differences in preferences in shaping disparities in carbon footprints.”
Where are words like body-fat, muscle percentage, basal metabolic rate, and bone mass?
