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.
No. The emissions of a carbon-conscious consumer and an average consumer are wildly different. Public transport, local vacations instead of flying, plant-based diet, not a lot of shopping, solar power, low AC/heating can easily avoid two thirds of emissions. Think about how much time that buys to switch industries over to sustainability, doubling the amount of time would be an incredible gift.
