Warning: Unpopular opinion coming up

This is a ridiculous metric. They measure carbon emissions not just by what the billionaires are consuming, but by what their investments (businesses, factories, etc) are producing. This is akin to the world blaming China for their grossly inflated per capita emissions, while conveniently ignoring that it's actually being consumed by other countries and it's just shifting numbers around.

There are plenty of legit reasons to hate billionaires, there's really no need to be making up new questionable ones that can be torn apart.

So if someone is polluting the air my child and I breathe, and destroying the environment in which we live, and I use physical force to stop them, is that self-defense?

We should burn billionaires for fuel to reduce our carbon footprints.

Thats actually an insane metric. Like I try to be conscious and clean, but even I pokute far more than I should. Then these dudes are doing that over and over every hour and a half? What the fuck?

Yea but it's on us for not recycling or not setting our thermostats to 85° or leaving the lights on or having the audacity to leave electronics in standby or leaving a charger plugged in or driving too much! /s

They're just measuring the increase in the amount of methane in the room when Elon speaks.

If dairy and beef cows produce significant quantities of greenhouse gas, and the rich also produce significant quantities of greenhouse gas, does that make them edible too?
