Of course and what is it that they want you to do? Just cut your food intake, eat lab meat, lab milk, bugs, and live in a shoebox. When food production in the USA is 9% of all carbon emissions. And out of those 9%, less than 3.8% is meat. While the cruise ship industry is 3.3% of total, worldwide.
Meanwhile, our CEO's, their boards, and their extended families, and largest stockholders go on, out on yatchs, zipping around in private jets, go to massive, endless, exorbitant decadent private events and eat whatever they want, whenever they want, because... suck it, pleb.
And then they go online asking you to reduce your carbon footprint. It's a joke
Total scam....
"Your carbon footprint is a scam"
Yes, rich people produce more emissions. We know this. If you live in the west and are regularly eating meat, you're one of those rich people producing more emissions unnecessarily. The fact that there are those richer than you producing more than you doesn't change the fact that you are one of them to the vast majority of the world.
This whole pointing up is just an attempt to deal with the cognitive dissonance of claiming to care about it, but at the same time not wanting to make any personal sacrifices when it comes to actually addressing the problem.
We all need to shift our behavior. Not just the ultra wealthy.
I'm not making my life worse while the wealthy get to continue their wanton consumption. I'm gonna enjoy the decline if they're the ones causing it. As soon as people gain the political will to make the world better, hit me up.
You're clearly educated, and admitting that you have the wealth to burn "enjoying" it. You are the wealthy continuing your wanton consumption. You are exactly what you hate, and just like those you hate, you are just selfishly thinking about yourself. You are no different from them because you are them.
Ethiopian farmers dying due to climate change-induced famine watching him enjoy himself: "great work, brother. Stick it to the man."
while saying "my fellow poor brethren! We're in this together"
I'm working class. Putting working class people who enjoy steak on the same level of the people that perpetuate capitalism in the name of sacrificing everyone for their own material benefit shows that you are a feckless liberal who cares about the appearance of progress, not actual progress.
It's funny because you are the one arguing that you don't have to do anything or change anything until other people do. Not me. You keep projecting, and you always seem to hate that thing about the people you are projecting it onto.
The only difference between you and me is that I actually put my money where my mouth is that I recognize that, even as a working class American, I'm actually one of the wealthy and thus I should be leading the way, rather than absolving myself by demanding other people go first.
