Gregory's Server@dangoodin @chu @ianrosewrites and yet you won't be able to pollute as much as a single bomb all your life. OP's point is the scale requires a proportional response to the core issue/culprit. Not saying you do the right thing in your life.

You're both right.
Billionaires are about 25% of global emissions.
The upper middle class of the US and Canada is more than half of the emissions. So while @dangoodin and I can't bike our way out of the climate crisis, collectively all our neighbors deciding they don't need a dick enhancer that gets 12 mpg can probably cut on the other 10% (not even back of the envelope math, in my head math based on transport being about 1/3 of total).
There's a lot of space for ALL actors to do something and not be douches.
We're all friends here batting on the same team. We have a common enemy of oil billionaires.
Let's not go after each other. There's space for both these major actors.
