      Not a myth. Most of your actions in this world are generating carbon.

      More accuratly, it was a PR campaign to shift blame from big oil.

        They aren’t drilling for the fun of it. They do it because you pay them to do it.

          Damn, you’re right, I’ll just take the train to work instead to avoid having to use my car and thus pay for gas, so simple!

          What’s that? Car and oil companies lobbied hard as fuck to ensure public transit in the US wouldn’t be good enough, forcing people to use alternative means of transportation?

          Well, shit

          Me as an end consumer buys a relatively tiny % of oil directly from Shell.

        Well, “generation” of carbon usually requires fusion of He atoms in a star.
