The real problem is not even about "Carbon Emissions" - even though if even in this metric the elites who ruled the world are the culprits - but the real problem is the plundering of natural resources and I suspect that would be even more warped than this metric, wrt to even the top 0.0001%
They tell us to clean up our acts while they pollute. It's like saying we cannot toss garbage out the cars while they can dump a truck load.
Absolutely. Thats why all this talk about "Humans are destroying the environment", "you dont care about environment" etc are perfect starting point for this debate. I always reply to them with "Humans are absolutely destroying the environment, but not the ones like you and me". Classing "agree and argue" technique.
I will say, "Yes, we are destroying the environment but we cannot equate to John Kerry even if we live to 250 years old."
Well then...the next step is readily apparent...
Yepper, not listening.
