And most of that comes from private jet usage or large corporate manufacturing. But yes, go off on some random university student on Lemmy because -checks notes- I drive an old car.
Collectively, cars and trucks account for nearly one-fifth of all US emissions, emitting around 24 pounds of carbon dioxide and other global-warming gases for every gallon of gas.
Oh shit, well if it’s only 20% we shouldn’t even think about it then! Blame-less Blame-less Blame-less! Woo!
Cool stat, I don’t live in the US. Sounds like Americans have more to answer for than I do in regards to car emissions. By your own (uncited) quote, taking every car off the road would still leave 80% of polluters operating. I wonder how many of those are related to some sort of corporate entity.
I already said that I take personal responsibility and take public transportation unless I absolutely cannot, but you don’t care because you just like being angry, so whatever. How much exactly are you doing to stop carbon emissions?
You know that meme where people say “eat the rich” and then target doctors and artists who charge $200 commissions instead of billionaires? That’s you rn.
What goalpost? I literally said I use public transport, but go off. I’m done, I actually have to take the subway to my work now. Enjoy arguing on the internet!
The one where first it didn’t matter because it came from private jets and then it didn’t matter because it was from America and finally it didn’t matter that it was global?
Even though it was specifically car emissions contributing that we were discussing the entire time.

I was hoping you’d mention globally!

Ouch. That didn’t work out so hot for ya did it?
Lmao this is so funny, now send the breakdown of by country.
I got you.
My country isn’t even in the top 10.
You can do it yourself here my dude. I’m guessing you’ll give it a try whenever you reach that goal post you keep moving, so likely never lmao.

But hey ignorance is bliss my friend!
Oh btw, speaking of moving goalposts
You never did answer this.
So that was a lie.
Your source is bullshit. Transportation as a whole is only causing 14-15% of the overall global carbon dioxide emissions.
