Here’s the thing: actually, we need the behavior of a _very small_ number of humans to change: the rich. Not only is their personal CO2 consumption the majority of personal CO2 consumption, but the capital they control drives the behavior and policy of everything else. This is a far easier problem to solve. I’ll leave the solution to your imagination.

Kinda, but most people on this website are in the global top 1%, and 1% is both a small percentage and still 80 million people.

That's actually completely and entirely untrue. The largest delta of CO2 in the coming years will be coming from developing countries as they rise up to modern standards.

But when you say:

It pretty clear you're not really arguing in good faith. Dog whistle is pretty loud.
