    All consumption is.

    consumption for production is one thing, entirely optional, benefitting only one party entertainment coming at the cost of everyone else?

    that’s a dick move.

      The emissions from 20 cars driving in circles for a few hours a week could continue until the end of humanity and still be just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of damage the production industry has done up to this point.

        bud the bucket overflowed a long, long time ago. now it’s pouring over the rim, and you’re like: eh, it’s just a few thousand tons of CO2 every year, for funsies, it won’t matter.

        it all matters. you’re just too vroom vroom to fucking care.

          The emissions from the cars themselves isn’t even 2000 tons of CO2. That’s 1/200000 of 1% of annual emissions. If you’re that concerned, you shouldn’t be on this site because the server, your computer, and your router are all adding CO2 to the atmosphere.

              Then you better not live in a house, turn your lights on, use your computer, go to the grocery store, go see a movie, go to a concert, buy anything at all, travel any other way than by foot. Or you could put your effort into something that’ll actually make a difference.

                quack quack quack, sure bud, you know the math, it’s easy to figure out: you’re adding to it… FOR FUN.

                I don’t.

                Don’t worry, one day you’ll get there, and meanwhile, your children will rightfully despise you regardless.

                  Oh, so now it doesn’t all matter?

                  If you really don’t do anything fun that contributes to CO2 emissions, you don’t do anything fun at all. Unless you live in the woods and survive off nuts and berries, you’re doing something that contributes to worsening the atmosphere.

                    you’re doing something that contributes to worsening the atmosphere.

                    Yes, I live in society. I don’t take my entertainment from watching idiots dump burned hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, though. Only someone sick in the head sees that and thinks: ooh, ah, this is FUN.

                    this all really hurt feelings, didn’t it, vroom vroom?

                    hope it keeps you up at night.

      In the modern world, all consumable products are made with energy from fossil fuels or transported with fossil fuels. You need to be constantly thinking about the supply chain, even if you only use public transportation. Favoring Green or greener options the whole way or simply abstaining from certain optional activities.

          I don’t want to be put on a watch list by mentioning the certain key phrases that I would have to to continue this conversation.
