    Drop in a bucket maybe but it’s for like 0.001% of the population. Which is an insane number per capita at this scale. Magnitudes is one of the biggest things people miss when talking about emissions, one single billionaire pollutes more every single day than thousands average people.
    Every single one of us has to make efforts to combat climate change but some a lot more than others.

      Scoffing at others who are better off has always been the favourite strategy of middle class polluters shifting responsibility.

      “I am living within reasons, look at him.” Says everyone all the way up the economic ladder… 🤭

        Why can’t anyone think of the shareholders!..

        Also that’s literally the point of my comment. Better off people pollute more so they should make the most effort. It’s pretty simple really.
