Comparing the behavior of people now to people 20-40 years ago seems dishonest. Many new technologies have prevailed since then, and cultures around consumption have rapidly shifted.
We should consider instead the current consumption habits of both cohorts for an appropriate comparison.
- new2628 7y agoI don't think the climate cares much about our technologies and cohorts. A ton of CO2 is a ton of CO2. Since you claimed I was arguing dishonestly, I withdraw from the discussion.
- uoaei 7y agoDifferent technologies emit CO2 at different rates. Different technologies are prevalent in society at different times. That's my only point. Didn't mean to make it sound so harsh, "dishonest" wasn't meant to be a reflection of your intention. I chose the wrong word.
