Free pass to what?
All the people who are contributing to the problem that you are falsely allocating their portion of the pollution onto someone much cleaner instead.
taking responsibility, or in your case denying it, has no effect on climate change.
If you're denying you are the major cause of the problem. Then of course you aren't going to try to solve that problem are you.
It's that other guys fault. The one driving a less polluting car and using a twentieth the electricity that you do.
But that isn't really where this discussion started.
No it isn't.
All the people contributing to a problem are responsible for the problem in proportion to their contributions.
As it always has been.
They aren't taking one off the road
Just like someone buying an ICE
Except now one ICE has been switched to an EV.
Switching from burning oil in your car to electricity is a saving though.
Those other 5 people using 20 times the electricity, are also still driving oil powered cars.
According to you though, the much dirtier people are grandfathered in as high polluting. So it's ok. And only if cleaner people use the electricity the dirty people feel entitled to, is it a problem.
You'll never reduce emissions if you're always ignoring the biggest users
All the people contributing to a problem are responsible for the problem in proportion to their contributions.
Train traffic—including military convoys—has been halted in Russia’s Rostov region after strike drones hit the strategic rail hub in Kamennolomni. This station was a key route for trains heading to occupied territories in Ukraine.
FA FO
You on the other hand are saying the people using 95% are at no fault
No, I haven't. I have repeatedly said I don't care. The fact is if you didn't charge your car, 100% of the emissions from burning the coal to charge it wouldn't exist. Not 5% nor 95%, 100% wouldn't exist.
You just did it again. Right there.
If one of those other 5 people weren't using 20 times as much as that one person. Same result.
Just one of them could have cut back 5% of their use. Or all of them cut just 1%. Same result. No pollution. But they all chose not to. So they, like you, could smugly sit there and complain about the person 20x cleaner than them.
It's only because of all 6 people that the coal station was used. It's absurd that you keep going on about this.
But you think you're entitled, along with the rest to use that electricity. For some reason you haven't really explained yet.
You are basically ignoring the consequences of your
That's completely false (although it's exactly what you are doing)
I'm saying the person using 5% is 5% responsible and the people using 95% are 95% responsible.
It's quite a simple concept.
You on the other hand are saying the people using 95% are at no fault because they were using it first. And the person using 5% is 100% responsible. Maybe because he was slow to wake up that day or busy at work and only just got home. Or whatever other apologist nonsense you can think up to blame the lowest using person and not the heaviest users.
