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 90% of commercial air travel is dumbasses flying for stupid selfish reasons. If you think you need to fly, you don't.

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. -

They did their part when they bought Elons electric cars, give them a break man, they are saving the planet all by themselves.

"You took 2 minutes longer for your shower"
IS NOT COMPARABLE TO
"We are using 2 acre-feet per acre for 1000 acres for growing almonds in the motherfucking desert"
These sorts of comments above are what industrial plants use to forcibly sway public opinion.

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

@donhawkins @crankylinuxuser @bytes4life @MarkHoltom even worse.
