Everyone is talking how they want to do better, but nobody seems to be willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary. Everybody wants their cheap airplane tickets, large cars and no effects on their living standards.
I don't want to sacrifice just so someone else can enjoy. Individual action for climate change can only do marginal improvement. The scale of the problem and the solution means we have to have regulation to share the burden.
how is you foregoing elective consumption being “taken advantage of” by someone else? absent regulation, that’s your choice, sure. and no one is forcing you to do anything. but dressing it up as “shucks, someone else would do it” is disingenuous. each ton less is a ton less, sophistry aside.
