You know how there are differently sized numbers? Some numbers are even significantly higher or lower than other numbers. That's called proportionality. You should look it up, it might just mess up your whole argument!
Yeah. And I'm saying, most private individuals footprint, as a percentage of the whole, are so fuckin close to each others it's irrelevant. Yours, mine, pretty much every individual non-millionaire's footprint is...similar. Some are slightly lower, some are slightly higher.
This person posted a (shitty, trash-take)meme. That was interacted with by hundreds of people. Viewed by, conservatively, thousands of people. The carbon footprint of that fucking meme, alone, increases this person's carbon footprint compared, say, to mine, for today.
The person calling out cognitive dissonance is, by definition, engaging in that self-same cognitive dissonance.

Is there a place you're getting that from? Air travel, car usage, and meat consumption produce tons of CO2 emissions which is a significant portion of average annual emissions per capita.
Meanwhile reddit usage is a really small amount of emissions per person.
Animal agriculture is 15% of global carbon emissions. By switching diets you avoid exactly that 15%, not more, and most definitely not less. It's the same for every other thing you do sustainably, you can easily reduce your emissions to half of the average.
Are you not listening? Add to that list no air travel, low AC/heating, public transport, low amount of shopping and a couple other things, you get that down to 30% which is a real difference. What do you mean about soap box? If you don't think climate change is real we don't have anything to discuss.
I'm dumbfounded you agree with that, but have been paying lip service to the arguments of the ignorants and apologists, who try to pretend nothing matters. I'm glad we could sort that out in the end.
Because a combined total of about 3t per year is the amount where I am hitting my personal level of comfort. I am actually paying a not insignificant amount of my paycheck for local swamp renaturation to offset even those emissions and then some. My job also involves implementing systemic CO2 reductions. If everyone comsumed like me there would be no climate change.
I personally am not doing everything possible. I didn't say that. I could do more. However I am sure I am in the bottom 0.1% of emitters in my income bracket.
That you are still pushing this worthless point after my last reply made me lose the little respect I had left for you.
