People still try to do this and insist on absolute emissions numbers rather than per capita to do so.

Yes Canada's total emissions with 40 million population is doing great compared to China's, what a feel good statistic, I guess we should build those pipelines and liquify that natural gas

The right doesn't have a monopoly on hate, the difference is you're always punching down

Empathy can absolutely develop over time. This rhetoric is not useful. Even dumb fucking right wing pieces of shit feel empathy when their in-group is affected.

If hate can be learned so can empathy, what you're suggesting is dehumanizing

It's not the job of the rest of us to coddle fragile men. I'm saying this as a man. Grow up.

Maybe they should advocate for better fuel regulations and densification ;)

Behavioral economics isn't how we allocate our resources, it's a correction of classical economics to include the human factor. The assumption that everyone is a perfectly rational profit optimizer only reflects reality insofar as we've codified that behavior into our laws and regulations such that shareholders can sue companies for not acting in that assumed way.

The kind of economics people take as science don't describe human populations throughout history.

The question isn't whether others are doing more harm than you, the question is whether your lifestyle would scale up such that if everyone lived like you, would we be sustainable?

Yours is the small scale version of the Canadian and American excuse that China emits more in absolute numbers despite being much better than us per capita.

Stop making excuses, take personal action.
