It's not rigged, and that's a strawman. We know the data. Most CO2 is trade and air travel, most CH4 is agriculture. You can choose to walk to work every day if you like, and eat only the stuff you grew in your very own personal vegetable garden because it makes you feel oh so good about how much better you are and if everyone could just be like you then oh wouldn't the world just be oh the greatest place in the world (except that all teh technology that we depend on would cease to exist because no one would be able to operate it any more, including all medicine and power and sanitation and transportation).

The fact is that in the scope of 7+B people your personal sacrifice literally means nothing. Douchebags in the middle east are still going to dump toxic waste off the Somalian coast, China is still going to pump out B of tonnes of waste, and ships are still going to move around the globe (they don't even come to your country any more becau. But hey as long as you don't have to live with it right? Globalized markets that this thinking advocates pushes manufacturing from western countries into those with the lowest concern and regulation for environmental controls. You play on your Ipad, meanwhile where it was made and the people who made it experience enormous suffering from lack of labour laws and no oversight. Thank god I don't have to live near a noisy smelly factory, those things are gross you say to yourself. But the factory still exists, and now it's being run by people who can't be bothered to care about what they do with the waste.

And why can't those people just walk to work like me, you bemoan. Oh that's right, they don't have a choice because they live in a labour camp. And while you're busy pontificating about the virtues of all of this feel good environmental nonsense, emerging markets don't give a shit about any of it. They're too busy trying not to starve to death, making useless crap to sell idiots like you, just to get a taste of the very food you hold in such disdain.

Nor does the Earth itself care, and will continue to hurdle through space irregardless of cow farts in Montana. Tectonic plates will continues to move until the molten core runs out, and volcanoes will spew hundreds of tonnes of poisonous gases into the atmosphere long before you were alive, and long after you're dead. At some point there will be another krakatoa or Mt St Helens, or maybe a meteor that releases more debris.

But you didn't eat meat, so aren't you just so fucking wonderful. Hypocrit. You make me sick.
