      Well, if everyone thinks like that nobody does anything ever… even the richest of the rich can say “it’s not because of me”, because it really isn’t. This is a man made disaster, but not by any single man. Some contribute more, others less, but the idea that only the rich polute is complete bonkers.

        I think that’s the point. People don’t want to change, so they say: “I’ll change when they’ll change.” Knowing full well that it is a deadlocked situation.

        Agreed, but it’s too easy to come after plebs like me and my eating habits when comparably private air flight is responsible for orders of magnitude more co2.

        Me turning down my heating or eating less bacon is not going to have the kind of impact that big corporations, government, and super wealthy could have if they curbed their destructive habits.

          How do we hold evil corporations accountable if not refusing to give them our money?

          We can do better in our own lives while advocating for bigger change.

          private air flight is responsible for orders of magnitude more co2.

          Aviation worldwide creates 2% of man made GHG, food production 25% and could be reduced by 75% with a plant based diet.
