[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is the key point that should, to borrow a phrase, be obvious to intelligent people. Even if every single person reduced their carbon footprint by 50%, it's a very small drop in a very large bucket.[/quote] I'm not following your math. If every single person reduced their individual carbon footprints by 50%, the result would be a 50% reduction of aggregate emissions. If the point you are trying to make is that emissions by industry is larger than household-level emissions, keep in mind that industry exists to serve households. If we consume less, then industry must produce less (or be stuck with surplus goods that lead to financial losses). [/quote] +1 Exactly. The person or persons making this argument is/are just trying to find a way to justify continuing to do whatever the heck they want without having to give any thought to the consequences.[/quote]
