Don’t worry, a single person’s carbon emissions isn’t that much. Most anyone who can actually make a big difference is too focused on $$$ to make an effort. So go on vacation because we’re all fucked anyway.

And we all use that excuse to not make any changes.

I stopped doing my absolute favorite hobby, flying small aircraft, in large part because I couldn't justify burning fossil fuels (leaded fuel at that) for my personal jollies, no matter how much satisfaction I got from it.

Sure it's just one person but add it up across millions, and more importantly create a culture shift that shames the big polluters to take action, and it would make a difference.
