All those bombs and planes and tanks and drones and machinery of death emit CO2 - also the burning rubble and bodies
Look around, we're killing ourselves at every possible opportunity
It's the factories in china, dude. Just like it has always been.
At least lower your phone if you are going to bring china into this. China is producing for us all.
We seriously need to lower consumption and sacrifice our way of life
It's not regular people that are polluting it's the big ass companies. Regular people can't stop that.
that's not true
you could start a "no new cell phone" movement to decrease consumption aimed at only purchasing old technology
you could start the movement
if you have the western lifestyle, with cobalt mining for phone parts and wars for gasoline, you are part of this, as easy as it is to claim otherwise
the problem is that it's likely mathematically and ecologically not possible to stop the trends at this point. literally, the only way to save the plan would be if something like bird flu started spreading with a 99 percent death rate, killing over half the population and bringing the economy of demanding energy no matter the environmental cost to a halt
but they are already making vaccines for bird flu
so, it's pointless to fight now, just try to act surprised when we all die of environmental catastrophe
perhaps as the older religious generations die off, newer generations will elect a global leader that will destroy all religious beliefs at any cost, resulting a purge on non-scientific thinking
Yeah cause only china has factories.
Who does the vast majority of all manufacturing? Who does the vast majority of coal burning?
