It sucks when people are like "but flying is only 3% of global emissions" or "bitcoin is only 0.5%." It all adds up when you're in a climate emergency.
Out of ALL the nations of the world, 203 (all but 6) emit under 2% of global emissions.
- If global aviation were a nation it would be the #6 top emitter after China, the US, India, Russia, and Japan.
- The richest 1% of humans contribute 50% of all flying emissions! It is an incredibly privileged act.
As for Bitcoin, if it were a country, it emits more CO2 than 179 (86%) of the world's nations.@MarkHoltom
Corporations and billionaires pollute the air and water. Consumers pollute the air and water. I pollute the air and water. You pollute the air and water. -

Its a perversion and weaponization of democracy, where if 'only enough people made the right choices', while obviously ignoring the fact that those with massive amounts of money previously distort these choices.
Most of us know what needs done, but haven't the power to enforce it. And corruption in governments, along with loving billionaires, none of them are arsed to care.

These sorts of comments above are what industrial plants use to forcibly sway public opinion.

Ask the average youngster if they would go for a life in luxury, disregarding any ethical principle, and /maybe/ they'll answer no. But a few seconds later they'll be on their smartphones, following the influencers proposing that exact idea.
"Gutta cavat lapidem". And now it's a torrent. -

@crankylinuxuser @bytes4life @MarkHoltom looks like that's relatively average; Now the average looks unnecessarily high!

@donhawkins @crankylinuxuser @bytes4life @MarkHoltom even worse.
