Essentially your average “red” state voter who has never left his/her home state and drives a huge truck has just a tiny fraction of the carbon footprint of your typical urbanite who has been to Europe a couple of times.

Al Gore likely has the same carbon foot print as all the residents of Miles City combined.

Full disclosure... my carbon footprint is huge.

Glass-half-full perspective on this chart: Best opportunity for Joe and Jane Sixpack to make a difference looks like Buy Green Energy.

I've saved the Pioneers & the Beaverheads by not having any children.

And we switched over to LED's, etc.

So I get to tell you all what to do about climate change.

In the news release I read rooms were renting out for 900 dollars a night, so I decided to stay home and watch

I was factoring in previous plane usage, I’m don’t keep track of him

The end is near !!!!!

I am still betting on the water cycle. We will get a heat wave followed by an ice age.

Phaseolus and devon deer

you mean did I go to the airport, and harbor, and count private jets and yachts,----I did not

It was reported in news outlets, both on line and in print. In fact if one is in England today they will be able to read that Prince Harry opted to give his speech while barefoot, at least according to three of their news outlets.

I also noted, again according to the news outlets, that this is a "secrete" meeting, so it may even surprise some of the attendees that billionaires came in private planes and yachts .

Panda Bear, I had forgotten about Al's Portland adventure

Ben Lamb, this man does not just talk the talk (-:

Harley, thanks for the information and Genesis 9:7---- your "all in" (-;

Or they could stop pumping out crying tax credits every other year or so...

I saved the world with no kids,and my mind.
Oh,that's right. I'm not in the real world. I am not in the real world . I am not...

The graph is pretty telling.

Instead of encouraging people to have children by providing tax credits and looking to make childcare free, and increase paid maternity leave, should we not be looking at taxing people for having children.
This makes logical sense, just based on consumption of public resources.
Then you look at carbon footprint...
I mean, if you believe in a carbon tax, which many on the left claim to, that looks like the place to implement one.

Instead, some brave climate warriors want free public preschool, a $5k cash payment when people have kids, larger tax credits, etc..
Government policy should not encourage people to have children.

Having kids also influences the income gap. Have less of them. It’s just good biz.

Although I’d like to make some world whirling myself, I so far have been doing my part on the kid thing.
With any luck it will stay that way.
I think the wife kind of wants one, but she sees the worst outcomes possible working in the NICU, so I that seems to keep the biological urge to have a kid at bay.
