| I don't feel any guilt about it for several reasons: - I'm poor, so my impact on CO2 emissions is minimal. - Rich people will always invest in some green-washing scam (whether intentionally or not). Our leaders are not smart enough to solve global warming. As a poor person, I have no power over anything. Also, I'm trying my best to become rich in order to gain the power to improve things. So I'm basically doing everything I can to get into a position to solve these problems but I'm consistently denied this opportunity... So none of it is on my hands. - At some level, I don't care about global warming enough because I don't own any stake in the planet. I'm just renting. I'm a nihilist and an atheist; so from my perspective, the entire universe ends in about 50 to 70 years anyway... Who cares about one lousy planet? When I'm dead, I will have 0 association with it because I will be nothing. Do I care about planet ABC in parallel universe XYZ? No! Because it has nothing to do with me... Exactly the same as my relationship with Earth in 100 years. So the simple answer is: 1. I'm not causing the problem. 2. I'm already doing everything I can to solve the problem. 3. It's not even my problem to begin with... I think most people experience some of these three points. I actually experience all 3 so I feel absolutely zero responsibility about global warming. If anything, I feel contempt. |
