    And that still won’t do shit when a company like ExxonMobil produces more pollution in a single year than thousands of people will in an entire lifetime. Don’t sit here and act like anything I do will make a difference just because it makes you feel better.

      It will cause at least one less gram to be emitted. You said nothing, but what you can do isn’t nothing. It’s just not much. But this is the survival of all life on earth we’re talking about.

      Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, it’s not going to get better. It’s not.

        We have millions of people who care, and even if every single one of us produced a carbon neutral footprint(which isn’t possible for everyone) it still wouldn’t stop what’s coming at this point. It would slow it down but not stop it because 100 companies are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gasses, and only 25 companies and state owned orgs are responsible for over 50% of the global industrial emissions. Without stopping them, you are throwing an icecube on a forest fire.

        Hell, the top 1% of co2 producers produce 1000 times more than the bottom 1% which is you and me.

          So buy one more day for us to have a revolution and end the pollution. If you have 1/100000000000000 the power of an oil CEO, and you still use that power polluting the environment for your own convenience, then what makes you better than them? That you would theoretically have done less damage if only your actions mattered a little more?

            If you want a revolution, then you need to get their hands bloody, and people are not willing to do that. I don’t blame them I’m not willing to either.

              Well I am. I’m participating in mutual aid and direct action orgs with the aim of assembling an apparatus for distributing weapons and committing insurrection against the government. Also I don’t drive a car or eat meat. My behaviours are designed to stop climate change at every level of action. You won’t engage in individual action, and you won’t engage in collective action, so what’s your big idea? Giving up? No thanks.

                I already recycle and walk as much as I can, but I unfortunately am not able to walk much due to where I live and an injury. The city close to where I live already has bike lanes and a fairly good public transit. It’s cool that you are an environmental terrorist and all, but I still don’t see what you or your armed group has done to stop or even slow down Exxon or companies like them.
