This is such a dumb stat. Y’all just want to blame consumption on someone other than yourself.
The math here is the sort of thing that drives apathy for me to make small incremental changes. If the superrich can dump ~250 avg. emission years over the course of a year, why should I do anything besides lobby against this mode of transport or other large consumers? Maybe it’s a “spirit of the thing,” but changes in my life seem so negligible compared to how ruinous some individuals are acting.
Billionaires should not exist.
What? No. I’m so glad billionaires are a thing. They’re doing all of that polluting on my behalf!
I mean there’s only 24 hours in a day…
And they are collectively shortening our lifetimes too so we pollute less so they can keep their jetliners running during a lunch break in France!
