I think the second half of your argument is missing. How much of that CO2 emission is even in my control? What is capital doing to reduce its end of output? What sort of mechanisms do I even have to control the economy? I can't stop american companies from selling out my grandkid's future. My parents couldn't either. Our economy is simply not structured to reflect collective interest. If you vote for a political party that does want to take this seriously, you get accused of supporting fascism.

I'm not going to sweat recycling while our entire political economy makes a farce of caring about the future.

If you drive an ICE vehicle in the US, about 4 tonnes. He just told you that.

I can't do anything about that because I can't go back in time and force our country to build public transit. It's not my fault that the country is so ass-backwards we can't move rationally.
