Greed and Excess Drive the Climate Crisis, So Why Aren’t They Being Questioned?

In the US 85% of emissions are transportation (which people don’t have a mundane choice generally on how they travel - low emission options come from regulatory and policy choices), energy production (again, not mundane), industrial processes (again not by people) and agriculture.

If you’re argument is that people consume the things provided to them and they could vote with their wallet ignores going to the root of the emissions and tackling the issue there.

I am sorry. I don’t think you know what “mundane” means. Transportation is exactly mundane, private yachts and jets are not.

I made no such arguments. You have built an entire story in your head. How the fuck you came to that conclusion?? Did you even read my comment? Or did you just vomit out anti response because of emotions?

The only argument is that moaning about greed and yachts is like being upset about a pinhole leak in a dam that is entirely collapsed 20 feet down.

Pro tip:

mundane - Of, relating to, or typical of this world; secular.

Aka ordinary.
