I like how the post is about the bus load of rich people that do the most polluting and we started blaming each other. Focus people. Our cars do pollute, but nowhere near as much as a these rich bastards.
Much more, in fact. I did the math a while ago and just plastic straws cover private jets for about a week. Moving half the US traffic from cars to public transport would do marvels for CO2 levels, more than outright banning private jets.
To be fair on those:
On one hand, yes, sure, fuck those people, 100%. On the other hand, remember that those people are encouraged and most likely exist only because of disinformation propaganda campaigns designed, promoted and delivered by the same bus load of people. So, you know, perspective.
Exactly. People love to pretend they aren't part of the problem as they keep their houses at 70 throughout 100° heat, roll car while driving their cars, and order boat loads of temu junk.
Lick those oil exec boots just a little harder and I'm sure they'll send you an invite to the pedo party.
nobody said oil executives are somehow blameless or ok, it's just funny to shift literally all blame away from you
They literally conspired to make the entire country not only dependent on their products, but did so knowing the harm those products caused to both the people and environment. The majority of the blame rests there and pretending that any amount of "personal responsibility" needs to be addressed is just so fucking stupid and self-defeating that it practically borders on sabotage. Let's get mired in blaming each other for our own minuscule, largely involuntary contribution while they keep filling their pockets with our blood.
Said the snowflake in the blizzard.
You have part of the power. If you are willing to coordinate there will be enough power to change all relevant things.
you're right dude, the snowflake has all the agency here. not the storm that created it, nor the wind that blows it around. if only it would melt itself then the energy consumed by phase transition would cool the earth in an imperceptibly small way, bringing us that much further away from global warming catastrophe. really, it's the snowflakes' fault for selfishly getting frozen in the first place.
Then you are one ray of light that helped to create the pressure difference that caused the storm.
You have free will. You have the power to make change a bit bigger.
Our own minuscule largely involuntary contributions sum up to 20 million barrels of oil per day (in the US) 10 million per day (in the EU) and 17 million (in China).
I don't think Musk alone is consuming that...
What?
