Hope the heat goes up to 100°C. That’s when fucking humans will learn.
Nah not the ones that caused this
Everyone is to be blamed. From us consumers who buy materialistic stuff to people who manufacture it. Everyone should be punished.
Most poor people in the West have huge carbon footprints because what they can afford to buy is cheap and imported from countries like China and, if they can afford a car, it’s not likely to be a hybrid or an electric. What else can they do? Should we expect the poor to live shittier lives when the people who are doing the vast majority of the damage are allowed to keep going?

for one people could just stop eating meat - or stop treating flying as a normal thing you do for holiday

the problem is that most people think others are to blame for one reason or anoher and don’t see that literally everyone has to change…

this whole thing is just a huge prisoner’s dilemma and noone will make the first move in fear of others not moving and exploiting that situation in the short term while ignoring that they are fucking over the planet in the long run…

Right, all of those poor people who take airplanes on their vacations…

What the fuck are you talking about?

You need to differentiate between poor in a wealthy country vs. globally poor. I know plenty of “poor” people in the US who can still scrape together enough cash for a plane ticket to go on vacation, but they’re still in tons of debt with zero savings.

You have to be able to afford to spend thousands to go to any major tourist destination far from you in the U.S. or Europe when you factor in the cost of air travel, hotel cost and food, not to mention any attractions you might want to see while there.

If you can afford to “scrape together” enough to do that, you are not poor. It really sounds like your privilege is showing.

People make bad financial decisions all the time? I dunno why you’re so angry about this. Like, would you say someone with $10,000 of debt, no house, making $13 an hour is not poor? I mean ya they aren’t destitute and homeless but that person sure as fuck wouldn’t call themselves rich, you know?
