      the ones used to haul people - I have no issue with. of course they must be replaced but in the great grand scale of things, they’re at least hauling people to schools and jobs.

      the assholes who look at internal combustion as their personality - the f1s, the nascar types, the tuner heads and vroom vroom fuckwits - they’re doing it for FUN.

      FUCK THOSE PEOPLE THE MOST. FUCK THEM EIGHT WAYS FROM SUNDAY. THEY’RE DERIVING THEIR ENTERTAINMENT FROM MAKING IT HARDER FOR CHILDREN TO BREATH. THEY DON’T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN CHILDREN, BECAUSE THAT’S WHO’S GOING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR ABSURD BULLSHIT.

      Of course replace ICE wherever possible, do the work, but I ain’t angry at some lady hauling her kids around in an ICE kia.

      The fuckwit who’s modified their carb so they spew more freedom smog - and the ones who want to watch them race in circles at full tilt - they’re holding the species back. Please, remind them of this whenever you see them. They’re fucking us all over.

      Ah, yes, the old “consumers are the problem” rhetoric when, in actuality, they only account for 10% of emissions.

        That 10% created a demand that caused the 60% to happen. To decrease or even eliminate that 60%, the 10% have to change their behaviour as well, even after decades of being indoctrinated.

        10% is 10%. I can’t control what the CEO of an oil company does, but I can decide avoid using fossil fuels. (Maybe if enough of us did the same, we actually could influence an oil company.) We each have to do everything we can to reduce CO2. Dismissing something as rhetoric doesn’t help.

          I can’t control the infrastructure that requires me to drive a car.

        But it’s also a 10% over which in western world we have quite a lot of control. You can vote for local governments that want to expand public transport. You can demand more bike paths and pedestrian friendly infrastructure in your neighborhood. There are multiple examples around the world (even in the USA) of communities or even whole cities significantly reducing car-centrism over several years.

        It’s wrong to blame people for using plastic packaging when there’s no feasible alternative. It’s wrong to force people to go beyond their comfort by using less electricity or heating because governments didn’t transform the energy sources.

        But each gram of CO2 matters and when reducing emissions doesn’t require much effort or sacrifices (like voting) then we all absolutely should do our part.
