You are the problem. I am the problem (someone who’s never driven a car in his life and doesn’t fly in airplanes). Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and everyone else is the problem.

The sad reality is that it doesn’t much matter. The damage we’ve done is baked in and hundreds of millions of people in the next few generations are going to have it pretty rough. Can’t unring the bell of a century+ of society not giving a shit about the environment and just pointing fingers at someone else and calling them the problem.

If you’re loaded, you may as well just take the PJ flights and enjoy them.



I fear I must tell you you didn't make a difference and it's still up to policymakers (and people who elect them) to enact necessary changes to reduce carbon emissions.


Yes, this is the point I was making in my comment. Unless “policymakers” (aka people) are willing to enact some very unpopular policies then everything is just window dressing and rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
