    I was waiting for this article because I bet you never read this trash study. They assign the entire footprint to the business owner. Now who is responsible for the emissions of my local power plant, the CEO or the people using the power? This study says the CEO despite the fact the consumers dictate how much power is needed to be generated.

    Next time try reading your sources critically

      If you change the mind of one billionaire and you’ll have reached the same result as a million of ordinary people. But he’s got you convinced your mission is to punch down.

        Climate doomerism at it’s finest. If everyone waits for the biggest polluters to stop before they do anything we’ll never get anywhere.

        Also fuck this CNBC article for comparing their collection of billionaires to France which is one of the most nuclear powered countries and appears like a big western country but doesn’t have nearly the emissions of the US.

        Finally, the climate impact of meat is well known one cited study suggests the average American can save a good amount of carbon emissions by going plant based. Sure it’s not a large percentage of total emissions but those emissions aren’t going away even if billionaires do. The solution is both creating policy that stops the ultra rich from polluting so much as well as personally reducing emissions from consumption in everyday life.

        You are literally buying into propaganda in order to resist recognizing your role in climate change.

        Again try reading critically in the future, child.
