- Jill_the_Pill 7y agoLarge quantities of carbon are taken from the ground and added to the atmosphere in the manufacture, transportation, sale, use, and disposal of consumer products.
- BlackRing 7y agoWhich is going to happen regardless. What would you rather they consume, an internal combustion engine that spits out a deadly exhaust or an electric vehicle that uses power, presumably from a nuclear or less toxic fuel source?
- Jommi 7y agoWe consume more thing sthsn ever before. Surely if 100 yes ago we could consume less why could we not reduce consumption now? :)
- Jill_the_Pill 7y ago>>> Which is going to happen regardless. It's not "happening," it's being done. By us. We can choose to stop.
- martythemaniak 7y agoHence, climate change is about doing these things without carbon (or only with carbon that's already in the atmosphere), rather than not doing those things at all.
