There’s some interesting stuff here. @ComradeKayAdams Do well-intentioned human-caused-climate-peoples really really not equate flying across country on an airplane part of the climate problem? Do you think that because they only fly on occasion that there is no impact on the environment from the airplane being loaded with jet fuel to get them from point A to point B? Not to mention booking air travel on a computer/laptop/driving to/from the airport, placing clothing made from petroleum byproducts into suitcases shipped via cargo vessel from Thailand? Do you think that they really think recycling the boxed wine box, or the plastic bag that held the Wonderbread is doing the heavy lifting on climate change just because it’s done on the regulars? And this climate lady, the one with the dog, why does she even have the dog? I feel like this is all dumbed down to an absurd level. I just threw a Snapple bottle on the sidewalk from the window of my Dodge Durango in protest. (jk-I recycle and don’t have a Durango. Total gas guzzler!) 1

I just threw a Snapple bottle on the sidewalk from the window of my Dodge Durango in protest. (jk-I recycle and don’t have a Durango. Total gas guzzler!) Of course air travel is a big polluter. But, if I forego my trip to visit my Mom, the airplane is still going. I haven't saved squat. Electric cars are cool I guess, but you have to drive one 80,000 miles before you are polluting less than a gasoline car. Most of the people driving them around have bucks so are probably gonna trade it in on the new latest greatest one before then. I have a dog and I'm not having put to sleep to save the planet. I have come to the conclusion lately that recycling and light bulbs etc is really not helping much if any. Not when you got other countries not caring and polluting out the ying yang. Add in the data centers to run crypto and AI (don't get me started). Musk is polluting the heck out of Memphis running his data center. And then you got all the rich and famous people flying around in private jets. President Trump flying that 4 engine behemoth back and forth to Florida every weekend. I said the same about President Biden going back and forth to Delaware and Jill Biden flying from Europe to the USA and back to attend Hunter's hearing. I'll continue to recycle etc but it's spitting in the wind probably. At my house on trash day we have 3 huge diesel powered trucks come by. One for trash. One for recycling and one for yard waste. How efficient can that be? I don't think we can conserve our way out of this. We need to figure out how to take the carbon out of the air IMHO or take mitigation efforts like building bigger sea walls etc. 1

The wealthy talk the game , generate PR and make appearances, but don't play the game, yachting and flying all about. Meanwhile, China and India pump out two addition units of CO2 for everyone one unit we're coerced to eliminate. On logical inspection it's all quite ridiculous.

You seem to be taking up the arguments now of granola Luddites! I will reiterate that making eco-friendly choices in your personal life is to always be encouraged, but these choices are rendered meaningless if not coupled with any political awareness at all four levels: local, state, national, and international. Stop voting for politicians who deny the obvious science of anthropogenic climate change, who dismantle environmental regulations, and who impede the growth of relevant emergent technologies (solar and other green tech, EV’s, artificial carbon sequestration, high-speed rails and other civil infrastructure upgrades, Gen 3/4 nuclear fission reactors, novel materials, funding for fundamental science research, etc.). I’ll give you a practical example of what I mean by “political awareness.” It’s super commendable that you are planting trees on your property, but it would be far more impactful if you were also directly involved in community reforestation efforts! Here in the beautiful state of New York, we are trying to meet our climate goals by planting 1.7 million acres of new forests by 2040. It’s ambitious and will require some degree of bipartisanship to have our state government purchase old farmland and curb excessive suburban sprawl. Won’t you help us downstate hippies out, dear Leh-nerd?? << Kay Adams innocent doe eyes >> Speaking of prominent and manipulative eyes…I see the emoji with which you chose to end your post, Leh-nerd… First of all, no I do not have a “dismemberment fetish.” It’s strictly a matter of pragmatism.

Third of all, your emoji eyes seem to be rudely fixed in an upward direction. Here, let me adjust them… << punches Leh-nerd in the face >> That better? No?
