I have some bad news about how future normal people are going to be hurt by drought, rising sea levels, and all the other effects of climate change.

- asynchronous 3y agoYeah but normal people tend to refuse to be the ones to suffer when we have private jets producing more than our cars emit in a year in a single flight. We’ll destroy the upper class before we let them use climate change to destroy the lower classes.
- space_fountain 3y agoNote this is for a single car. Overall cars produced way more CO2. General aviation in general which I think includes private planes only admits maybe a 5th as much as passenger vehicles. That’s actually way higher than I expected, but again points to the fact that it isn’t a rich other causing global warming it’s more or less us. Though of course the rich have a vastly expanded impact and the truly poor do the least, but there are way less rich people https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi?Dockey=P10153PC.pdf https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi?Dockey=P10153PC.pdf
- space_fountain 3y agoSure but all those problems come later and feel less certain than literally doubling every energy bill. Thus why it’s politically hard
