Contributing to it, by driving a semi truck that delivers all the crap and all the essentials that you and I buy, and thereby incentivizing all the climate destroying activities that produce all those products and their raw materials. All the clothes, bikes, cars, car parts, trucks, truck parts, diapers, food, beer, soda, spring water, medicine, books, computers, paper and plastic packaging (recyclable and not, recycled and not) et effing cetera.
Or, reducing it, by using many fewer gallons per freight-pound using one efficient and relatively pollution controlled diesel engine to haul up to 45,000 pounds of freight (and 35,000 pounds of truck plus empty trailer) rather than many smaller vehicles in many more trips.
Or both.
