How about your and mine air travel? Meaninglessly small fraction of the actual problem?

• NationalPark 5y ago
  Indeed, commercial aviation is only something like 3% of overall carbon dioxide emissions globally. If you want to make a personal difference you would be an order of magnitude more effective if you stop commuting in a non-electric car or gave up consuming meat when dining in restaurants. Expecting individual action to fix this (or worse, blaming individual actions for it) isn't going to work though. Individual consumption is not the majority source of emissions, and it's a bit of a classic prisoners dilemma problem anyway, and we know how much Americans trust each other these days.

    Are you taking the human/mass psychology apect (which underlies human actions) of the problem into consideration?
