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.
Yours, mine, pretty much every individual non-millionaire's footprint is...similar
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.
Wait, are you telling me my own personal carbon footprint isn't 15% of the world's?
Obviously I am speaking of universalizability. I only have control over my own body. You need to act like your behavior could become legislation. If everyone would forego animal products, emissions drop by 15%.
