Exactly. An individual can live their entire life taking short showers, abstaining from meat, and generally living like it's the 15th century and all of their efforts are erased when the Keystone XL pipeline sprays 300,000 gallons of oil over North Dakota.

Oil pipeline spills make me furious, but they don't have the exact same effects as carbon emissions. It's not a useful comparison.
