Ah yes. The individual needs to feel guilty about their climate affects.
One billionaire who signed off on this piece of AI slop will have a greater affect on the climate in 90 minutes than I could ever try to achieve in my entire life.
Go to hell.

This is why we need to promote more drastic action in terms of carbon offsetting. You can offset the impact of all the flights you've taken over your lifetime, plus those of your friends and family, by killing just one billionaire.
I hate billionaires as much as the next guy, but I’d rather they be held accountable for their crimes by living a long and miserable life in prison, with none of the white-collar kid-gloves they’d normally get.
While in prison, they shouldn’t be allowed to do anything with any carbon footprint. They should be forced to grow fresh food, but not be able to eat it, to offset the crappy prison-food they should be forced to eat for the rest of their lives.
Do you think they would willingly allow that to happen?
Highly highly unlikely, but we can dream about real justice.
I wish billionaires would get interested in trains again
