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.
I mean in defense of the other person. It sounds more like the argument is trying to encourage a bigger action. Like don’t just do your part, vote/participate for what actually changes things in a larger scale.
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.
I’m only in my thirties. I don’t really think I had like… A huge hand in all this.
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…

CO2 accumulates, and raises temperatures.

The stats linked above are for the sulfate emissions.
What you’re doing is trying to discourage action, and that’s not ok here.

Half of the cumulative CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution have happened in your lifetime.
