Not true. Our cars account for more than 15% of the problem. Our meat is about the same.
With just those two things, we are over the 25% of the “factor 4” from Rio.
It is oversimplified, but it gives the idea: if the Ultra richs stop polluting, we are still doomed if the rest of us doesn’t do something either.
Sure… people spend hours in congested traffic because they love their cars so much, not because they lack alternatives for transportation. And it’s totally normal that I can pay less for 500g of cheap meat than for a 500g bag of rice, and that’s not caused by insane subsidies for meat producers.
The issues are systemic and guess what… the majority is not in power to change the system.
