But tell me again how it’s the straws.
No climate scientist or activist has ever said that straws have anything significant to do greenhouse gasses; this really isn’t the clever retort you think it is.
The point of shifting away from plastic straws is because they get everywhere, never break down, and pollute the ground environment. It’s critically important that we stop heating the planet. We should also stop covering it in tiny pieces of disposable plastic. These two things have little to do with each other.
