minus-square@FlowVoidlinkEnglish2•edit-21 year agoIt’s still justifying pollution for your convenience. And a lot more CO2 has been emitted for the convenience of people who aren’t rich. If you live in the US, you are responsible for 3-10X the emissions of people in other countries. You can’t justify that by pointing to Musk.

minus-square@FlowVoidlinkEnglish2•1 year agoYou’ve never flown on a commercial aircraft? Or bought anything that was transported by air?
minus-squareFlying Squidlink-1•1 year agoAre you saying those aircraft wouldn’t have flown if I didn’t specifically do those things? Because otherwise, again, not the same.
