If it makes you feel better, Elon Musk flies around in his private jet while tweeting "why not go renewable now?" rather than taking a more nuanced stance.

- DesiLurker 7y agothese type of arguments are really immature and dishonest. So what if a billionaire or a world leader is flying around in Jet. How is that an argument for us to destroy our habitat for future generations. statistically speaking how much of global warming is cause by private jets vs the rest of it? if the 'influencers' are not gonna talk about it then who else is? and will it matter? if you take a step back & see you'll notice these type of arguments are designed to evoke an emotional response in a casual observer so they dont feel the need/desire to further engage in the (admittedly) marginally interesting topic.
- redthrow 7y agoSorry, what "argument" did I make? It's more of an observation about how even people who are vocally pushing for renewables/sustainable energy aren't personally following what they preach (while seemingly not feeling guilty about it). Is this observation wrong?
