Is this a serious reply? Do people travel 1.5m miles by bus? Think critically.

- liquidise 4y agoI think you missed the point of my reply. Vitalik sitting on non-private flights doesn't meaningfully add to pollution, the flight was already happening. The fuel was already earmarked for burning. "This person boarded a lot of flights that were going to pollute anyways" is a strange take. Sure he did it a lot, but if an individual contributes no measurable impact by sitting on a plane, then boarding 300+ flights pollutes roughly the same as boarding 0, since those 300+ flights happen anyway. If you want to argue about market forces, do that. But as a sibling comment said, blaming a consumer here is strange.
- dabeeeenster 4y agoThis isn't a serious reply either. What happens to planes if consumers choose to fly half as much?
