*reading the article further* Table 2 is an excellent summary. I particularly like "energy price of non-fossil-fuel", "default infrastructure", and "popularity of vegetarianism." They list levers that affect each tipping point and the frequency of it being listed in their survey of 1000+ experts

An example that has already happened is styrofoam containers. I only feel like they are gross now that they are already rare. It felt inevitable, and too convenient to stop before.

I would venture to guess that she is aware and indeed changed her diet to reduce climate impacts by eating less beef. Since that is the majority of the impact, I'm assuming she decided not to go fully vegan because the efficiency of going 100% is less than reducing waste elsewhere.

"why are you not doing x" is too narrow. It's probably because they are doing wxy&z! I can't be an expert on food systems, waste systems, energy systems, and biodiversity. I feel bad for missing out on everything from yoga to opera. I take comfort that other people specialize in things Im not.

I can understand the temptation to want climate scientists and activists to be perfectly rational or saintly, or to be responding to the crisis in the same way as you. But that's not how humans work.
Expect them to have thought about it in their own way, and to have reasons you haven't thought of.

I was thinking more global biodiversity loss, maybe green energy, or food forests. I was answering "how to make a bigger difference" but the talk was more about the direction of "how to embody harmony" or "think holistically."

Even a songbird indoors frantically flying from corner to corner is distressing and makes people cower in the corner. It's the unpredictability for one.

Good question, I feel this way about mice and rats. I think it's the fast movements, unfamiliarity, and being unable to get away. If you see them commonly, you stop screaming. Mosquitoes are more common but being unable to get away from them makes most people's skin crawl.
