It looks like using numbers obscured the argument that I wanted to make. The problem I wanted to point out is that personally achievable reductions are limited while the potential harm that an individual could do by excessive consumption or travel does not have a hard cap.
- esarbe 6y agoThat's a good point to make.
- mcntsh 6y agoThe people flying in those planes can make personally achievable reductions themselves. Everyone has to make the effort together.
- _Microft 6y agoI'd also wish that everyone were more environmentally conscious but I think we need solutions that are robust enough that they will even work despite people's bad attitudes and not just when people have good attitudes.
- mcntsh 6y agoSure, I just think it's funny how people blame the "evil corporations" for the problems while humans are simultaneously unwilling to solve the problems themselves.
