“I'm not emitting, it's the entities I pay to give me stuff and services"

• qgin 3y ago
  I'm not saying you can't blame individuals. I'm just saying you're not going to actually solve the problem by blaming individuals. If your local utility burns coal or natural gas, there's not really any amount of shaming of the consumers that will change the carbon output of those utilities. If concrete and steel manufacturers are emitting carbon at hugely high rates, there's no amount of individual shaming of occupants of buildings made with that concrete and steel that will change that. But regulations at the governmental level to direct those industries into emitting less carbon, that has a realistic path to actually making a different.
