When it comes to climate change, the majority of us think we're personally doing our bit, but that we're being let down by everyone else, including our own n...
Rather than acknowledging that climate change is caused by emissions which are largely done through energy production, transport in supply chains and industrial activities, i.e. systemic elements, he goes on to complain about how individuals, who have nothing to do with energy production or transport, are hypocrites.
Almost everyone in the countries surveyd use energy and transport. Infact the countries surveyd are the largest GHG emitters (historically and per capita).
Why do you think industrial emissions happen? It’s because individuals buy what companies sell.
If people (particularly in the countries surveyd):
continue to consume on this scale
refuse to support regulations that will force companies to emmit less
then GHG emissions (and environmental damage in general) will continue to remain high.
The solution to global warming is to wind down the fossil fuel industry to zero, which should be easy enough to understand. This is an act that will have a significant impact everywhere and we should focus on managing that change.
Ok, how are you going to do that without reducing consumption? We have been investing in green energy for decades and fossil fuel consumption continues to increase every single year:
I don’t like the framing that it is ‘industry’ that is causing GHG emissions because it lets the actual individuals who are taking advantage of the system of the hook. These individuals are the shareholders who profit, but they are also the consumers who get ultr cheap goods because they don;t give a fuck where it came from.
