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.

"You took 2 minutes longer for your shower"

IS NOT COMPARABLE TO

"We are using 2 acre-feet per acre for 1000 acres for growing almonds in the motherfucking desert"

These sorts of comments above are what industrial plants use to forcibly sway public opinion.
