It sucks when people are like "but flying is only 3% of global emissions" or "bitcoin is only 0.5%." It all adds up when you're in a climate emergency.
Out of ALL the nations of the world, 203 (all but 6) emit under 2% of global emissions.
- If global aviation were a nation it would be the #6 top emitter after China, the US, India, Russia, and Japan.
- The richest 1% of humans contribute 50% of all flying emissions! It is an incredibly privileged act.
As for Bitcoin, if it were a country, it emits more CO2 than 179 (86%) of the world's nations.

But for shitty end-stage capitalist countries, its easier to tell the masses that THEIR showers, THEIR meat eating, and THEIR drinking straws and THEIR showers are the real issue.

Its a perversion and weaponization of democracy, where if 'only enough people made the right choices', while obviously ignoring the fact that those with massive amounts of money previously distort these choices.

Most of us know what needs done, but haven't the power to enforce it. And corruption in governments, along with loving billionaires, none of them are arsed to care.
