Because CDs just appear out of thin air and involve absolutely zero CO emissions during their production; during the extraction of their base materials; during the logistics of the final product; the sale of the product; and the CO produced by the consumer travelling to the shop and back again, multiplied by 10,000,000 consumers per year… none of that counts because of wishy thinking and space-star-ology.

Sure, materialism generally is a problem, but CDs are just not a significant contributor.
