This is my fucking day job. I track pollution and try to figure out how to minimize it with new technology and new regulations.

And Goddamn you, cruise ships do not make excess carbon pollution. Go fucking reread that article and stop spreading this planet killing woe is me bullshit.

They make particulate pollution. They make NOX and SOX pollution. Both of those are significantly less harmful when emitted away from population centers, which is why they're allowed to.

They do not make excess carbon pollution.

Do you honestly, HONESTLY believe that those handful of ships burn **twice* more fuel than all the fucking cars of one of the most dense and developed continents*?

Did you even spend three consecutive seconds thinking about this before you just washed your hands of it and blamed the corporations, man?

You burn gasoline. You turn your heat and AC on. You refuse to use the green electricity option your utility is likely mandated to offer. You chose to start a keto diet because your fat ass wouldn't stop chugging corn syrup. You buy shit.

Go ahead and find that article on 100 corporations making 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Look at that list. Did you notice that it's ALL fossil fuel companies selling you gas and oil?

Stop fucking buying it. Our planet is dying and you consume more than the corporations do. This blame absolution gets valuable regulations killed in their cribs over and over again because people like you refuse to believe that their SUV is contributing to climate change and throw hissy fits when we propose gas prices go up by a quarter per fucking gallon.
