minus-squareori@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down2·11 days agoIf you rephrase these stats, the group from top 50% to top 1% is responsible for 76,4% of Co2. pretty sure you are in that group.
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down3·11 days agoI’m not anywhere in that group. I haven’t even had a car in over ten years.
minus-squareNot_mikey@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 days agoYou probably are, that bottom 50% is emitting 0.6 tons of co2 per year per person according to that research. Heating and cooling an average American home emits 2 tons of co2 if your using electric, even more for natural gas One cross country flight emits 0.6 tons of co2 Eating meat is about 2 tons a year Idk your lifestyle but you probably consume more than that bottom 50% earning $5 a day.
minus-squareori@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down3·11 days agoSo you are below 2000$ per year?
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down3·edit-211 days agoWell below that, yes. If you’re arguing that anyone making over 2k a year is part of the problem, then why even argue anything? You’re missing the point that there’s a much much smaller group of people causing much much more pollution.
minus-squareori@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·11 days agoIs blaming a worse group an excuse for a larger group to ignore everything?
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·edit-211 days agoIf the worse group is responsible for the overwhelming majority, yes. Not many people in the other group are ignoring it. Do you always concern troll so ineffectively? …Ori and the Blind Reasoning over here.
minus-squareori@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·11 days agoAs i stated before, they are not responsible for the overwhelming majority, they are just much higher per person. Even if you fix the top 1% to 0 you are still left with 84,1% of the previous emitted Co2. I do agree that there should be reductions but not just to the top 1% and definitely dont blame someone as an excuse to be bad yourself.
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·11 days agoCool story. Fortunately just because you don’t believe in the truth, it didn’t make it any less true.
