This is a graph showing official number of deaths in Germany for every day since 2020. The red line is for 2026 and the big spike is the recent heatwave. The three days with the most deaths since at least 2020 have all happened just two weeks ago.
Have you seen how many flights Infantino took during the World Cup?
It doesn't matter what you or those around you do. Get an AC, eat meat, burn plastic in your garden or glue yourself to a street. As long as the rich, powerful and governments don't care it's only making your own life more difficult.
Billions of ordinary humans still consume much more fossil fuels and meat than the super rich. And that consumption is giving unsustainable industries even more money for lobbying and to stay profitable.
This sense of futility is whats keeping their business model alive as long as possible. It's what's giving them the largest benefit they could possibly hope for. Don't do their lobbying work for them.
If there were no billionaires, our unsustainable consumption would still drive climate change, just a bit slower. Just pointing at them isn't sufficient. We need political and individual action.
The argument also kinda sounds like "well if there are people that literally kill thousands of people, then me hurting a few people in my life doesn't make much of a difference." Which is a quite silly.
Sustainable technologies like public transport, EVs and meat alternatives also need demand to grow, to become normalized, widely accessible and cheaper through scaling. Early adopters have a much larger effect on the overall trajectory than late adopters.
If progressive people just do what's practicable to have a positive impact where they can, that has a large effect. And many already do. We need more of that.
Bullshit. There are more of us than there are Infantinos.
Compare how many flights Infantino took (27) to how many additional flights were laid on so that football fans could see world cup games (thousands*). Fuck off with this shitty excuse. If you were a football fan and you said, "I'm not going to travel because of the environmental cost" your action and your voice, together with the voices of others, could easily outweigh all of Infantino's flying. But no, you want to do the opposite: you want to tell everyone to be worse, to use your voice for evil.
The least you can do, if through some mental defect you want your own actions to contribute to death and destruction, is to shut up about it.
You're too stupid to understand an example. I'm out
I understand your example, that's why I was able to talk about it competently. I disagree with your conclusion.
I'm glad you'll be stopping the spread of your poisonous doomerism. Please keep that up.
