But what they're actually doing now - just studying them - isn't crazy. You might believe that in the future progressives will try to adopt the udderly (<-- I see what you did there) ridiculous notion of getting rid of cows (which would never happen), but that's not a legitimate argument to claim that the current activity is ridiculous. It's an efficient and valuable step towards the goal of trying to address climate change.

I'd describe it as an unserious study in pursuit of a serious thing.
Behind most of these is someone standing there hoping to make some megabucks off of moving the entire globe in one direction or other. Let's go back to algore and his climate change efforts and what was really behind them: he stood to make $Billions$ of dollars in carbon exchange markets. The goal was to use his office and An Inconvenient Truth to stand up his investment firms - plural - reaping him huge wealth in the process.

Ditto the anti-beef efforts. What an opportunity it would be if suddenly all of Earth's humans needed a vastly different source of protein to live off of.

These people aren't serious about "climate change". For one, the climate is ALWAYS changing and a serious discussion means talking about humanity adapting. For 2, if these people were serious about actually changing the balance, we would see real changes in energy production towards geothermal, nuclear and hydroelectric. As well as serious investments into making power grids more robust, able to handle more electricity and more efficient.

Instead we see hydro dams being torn down and no nukes being built and the insistence that the same inadequate grid we have today is going to be able to handle the demand of millions of new electric vehicles. It's a farce, always has been.
