      Well it can’t be the billionaires or the boomers, so it must be your fault.

      This is what late stage capitalists actually believe

        We should still try to do something, because it can become worse. So it’s still an actual problem to make other people believe it’s a thing…

        You’re conflating greenhouse gas emissions with particulate pollution. Particulates damage lungs and drop temperatures, but fall out of the atmosphere within a few weeks of emission into the troposphere.

        CO2 accumulates, and raises temperatures.

        And how many in their voting lifetime? About 25% according to that site.

        Now how many were in their country? Surely a much smaller portion.

        But we’re all to blame really, because we all take part in the system. The only way to escape blame is to not live. Although, to be clear, blame should not be evenly distributed here.

          I dont think we are not all to blame. We are forced to be part of the system, as you mention, the only way of “escaping” the system is by not being alive. How can we be blamed for something that was imposed on us?

            Are we forced to take a flight across the world and a cruise in a ginormous cruise ship every year? A lot of people do this. I totally agree that we’re forced to be part of the system, but that excuse only goes so far. A lot people go way, way, way beyond what we’re forced to do. Granted, we keep being told by the media and politicians mostly that it’s no big deal, but even what little they say already gets a lot of people riled up. Imagine what would happen if they told the full truth and told us the true extent of the measures that were required?

        Bro, did you really just decide to erase my comments and ban me instead of engaging with me? Just like I’m sure you’ll erase this one once you realize there’s nothing stopping me from commenting from other instances.

        I won’t, because it’s not worth my time. I only came back here to say that you’re a coward, and pushing your head in the sand doesn’t solve anything.

        Have fun banning the people who you don’t agree with.
