But that barely makes a dent because we use what we got.
Overall we are all equal with doing not enough?
I think we are not equal in how much we do.
Overall, the bottom half of poor people contribute less emissions than the top 1 percent.
On an individual level, my family contributes less than half the emissions of the average Australian and it would be less if public transport was good enough to get my wife to work at 6am or she decided to get the electric scooter I keep offering to buy her if she sold the very small car that we own just to get her to work.
Sadly, most of the fixes required to reduce my personal emissions involve a Govt doing the right things like more non-fossil fuel power plants, better bike paths and so on. But if everyone decided to find a way to halve their emissions via the removal of cars or minimalistic living, then it would go a long way toward destabilising the economic method of capitalism as well... which one must admit, would do wonders for the emissions being expelled.
Still, to keep this on topic, the person who will do the most in climate history is likely to be the masses and not one person or even a group of people... and it certainly will not be any billionaire ever.
If the masses don't act up, those in power wouldn't change a thing and those that do only do it because the masses allow it to change.
Could you imagine any political leader in any country that will make a stand and ban all cars and still be there next week?
That is what we need to do... and throw in regrowth on top of that. If the masses are no onboard, it wont happen.
