Read it again: the idea that a present that emits carbon is a good thing is what needs to change.

And yes, I do know how many plane trips there were. That doesn't make it right, just like that fact that a lot of people smoke doesn't make that right.

There are very few human activities that don't directly or indirectly "emit carbon".

Like it or not, civilization is not going back to the horse and buggy. At least willingly.
