    Sure, if you all want to live like it’s 1750 again humans are not a problem. We both know you don’t want to do that so stop acting like the modern lifestyle is sustainable if the rich just polluted less. It’s not that simple, they pollute that much because they own the facilities that support our lifestyle

      I didn’t know their private jets, yachts, and companies that lobby for lax environment rules support my lifestyle.

        Cars, as in personal vehicles, are one of the largest portions of environmental damage. The majority of cars are owned by people who aren’t rich. Don’t underestimate the footprint of the average decently off person in a 1st world country
