    You don’t know that emissions will only start to fall when the “population begins to fall”. That’s just a wild guess on your part.

    To get where we need to go, we will need a decline in lifestyle

    This only makes sense if you’re a millionaire. You’re completely missing sight of whose “lifestyles” are fucking us over. The Pentagon is one of the biggest polluters in the world. Oil companies have coated the earth in micro plastics. But you think a “decline in lifestyle” is needed to improve the environment?

      good point on perspective of “lifestyle”. I eat like a king, but the people who door dash every day would think I eat like a Buddhist monk just making a big cauldron of rice and chicken or maybe a huge bolognese… and that is what I eat for my main meal for 5 days! a lot of these spoiled fuckers don’t get that I am eating richer than most people in the world!
