Is that so? The most dignified, people with the most money, are also causing the most desctruction.

I find it odd to say people are fighting climate change if they actively contribute to climate's destruction. Doing it for a short time with a clearly stated end date would be one thing. However, almost nobody emits less than the crucial threshold of 2 t CO2/year.

At some point you have to admit that if you aren't doing it, you aren't doing it.

Yes. I pollute because I’m a leftover. Give me a wife, children and love and I’ll care for others. Such things as people being scorned do exist.
Right?

A friendly reminder that Gates shorts Tesla and that Washington state has the most regressive tax system in the USA.

I'm nearly at my wits end when it comes to rich people preaching nonsense they don't believe in to everyone.

Carbon credits are the equivalent to murdering an innocent person and thinking that raping 2 women and supporting the offspring morally absolves you of the original murder and 2 rapes because you assume those 2 children will go on to save the world.

Tesla won’t save the world. This is probably not problem we can solve with more growth, sadly.

Also, TSLA has by far the highest P/E of any major car manufacturer…
