Ok. Well, not all countries are democracies. So, excluded those ones right off the bat. And then narrow it to voters who participate and those who do not.
The largest emitter of greenhouse gasses, and CO2 is China, which not a democratic county. The second largest is United States. Idk how to discuss the possibility of ‘voting’ the climate change problem away without mentioning these two nations.
Not that this changes anything. It’s just another idiotic talking point as you so politely pointed out. But then again, I never asserted the idiotic notion that we could simply vote the problem away either.
You did.
Then you politely pointed out that it was stupid to talk about America.
Then you made sure to call me an idiot, because America is the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses.
Care to elaborate on any of this in a productive manner?
How shall I help again exactly? Voting?
I didn’t blame China, I simply pointed out that your solution, ‘voting’ doesn’t work in a place that doesn’t have participatory democracy.
China is to blame just like America is. The wealthy, powerful Chinese and Americans, who actually could do something besides idiotically arguing, decide to continue fucking the world, our children’s futures, and everything else that gets in the way of their maintaining that power. Mostly the people with power over the problem actively ignore or disregard the problem. I do vote. I pick up trash. I avoid buying new stuff, beyond that, since I’m not the CEO of Exon Mobil, I really don’t have agency.

If you do not participate you’re part of the issue

I think America is one of the participatory democratic countries. But many other countries are not. What are you actually confused about??

You didn’t mention who was the largest consumer of Chinese goods which were produced in lieu of all that co2.
Well well well, now you want to discuss US? Now it suddenly seems relevant? Hmmmmm.
? You’re quoting the wrong guy there chief.
Okay, but I was replying to that user. Americans must stop consuming, and that is not controversial at all.

Okay. Thanks for politely correcting me. But which country is the largest emitter of CO2?
