The main culprits are the big oil companies. They made the carbon footprint term to make us feel guilty and shift the blame from the biggest polluters.
The main culprit is likely the US military, except that they don't allow themselves to be monitored.
Aren't there really any numbers on this? I'd really like to know how aircraft carriers and container ships and other vehicles compare
That's the point. There aren't any numbers because the military does not allow oversight.
Look at this shit about the Abrams Tank and consider that armor is a small part of our military
This doesn't even take into account active devastation caused by munitions testing
Indeed they corrupted the narrative to avoid blame, to maintain profits.
But who are they selling the oil to? Us.
We are all sinners in this
All sinners, yep. Cool story buddy.
I said in the first place that the companies hid the impact of pollution to maintain profits so fuck off with that.
Do you think oil companies just make the oil products, emit the pollution and pump it back below the surface of the earth?
No. We drove the cars that used it, we used the plastics, we asked for more and more and cheaper and cheaper and they said "sure thing bud 🤑"
