German #newspaper “Berliner Morgenpost” made a playful #visualisation about the personal #climate budget - it shows vividly where individuals quickly reach their limits and why politics urgently needs to act. There even is an interactive version: https://interaktiv.morgenpost.de/co2-budget-pro-kopf-testen-klimawandel/ #infographics #climatechange

@florin Mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it shows that even if we wanted, we couldn't.

But it completely disregards that most emissions are not even influenced by people, but by huge companies.

Even though that might be reflected in the sums of the pieces, it still makes me feel like it's buying into the giant blame shifting the oil industry is doing since the 70s.

@morre @florin Yeah, but companies arent destroy climate because they love to do so, they do it, because people consume their products and those products need to cheap as possible. So this is some kinda seemingargument, isn't it?

@HeiligerBimBam @florin It only is if you treat capitalism as a given, which it isn't.

Capitalism is a huge part of the problem. Best would be to get rid of it.

@morre @florin I agree, it defenetly is. However, I do not see any efforts to change this either :/
