  • But is our contribution minuscule compared to theirs? Like let’s say one man sells (an equal amount of) gasoline to a thousand people. Is that one man now contributing 1000x more to greenhouse gas emissions than any one of those people?

    But that’s not all he’s doing!

    He then takes the revenue from selling gasoline and uses it to bribe politicians and hire lobbyists and invest in more oil refining/exploration; he’s making the problem even worse.

    Meanwhile, the people he sells the gasoline to don’t have any real choice but to buy it. They need to work to live, and they can’t get to work without gas because Mr. Gasoline destroyed public transportation infrastructure.

    Stop trying to flatten everything down to only the carbon footprint (a metric made by the oil industry to absolve themselves on responsibility). They used that money from selling gasoline to convince you that you are equally to blame for climate change as billionaire oil families and it’s absolute nonsense.
