I also made the mistake of reading the maps thread. Therefore I learned that data stops being private/sensitive ince it is available in the Public sphere, so the h4x0r1ng is a self-solving issue.

Hey, it's something. But if you want to be cynics about it, have fun in California, I guess :shrug:

Also, I'm no fancy-pants climate egghead, but this stat is also dependent on countries. In Switzerland (and I'd guess in many other rich developed nations), Flugverkehr is a much more significant polluter - because people can afford to pop over to NYC for a quick shopping trip, you see. Flying apparently accounts for 18% of Switzerland's CO2-emissions, I just checked. Seems pretty significant to me!

Flying over to New York once or twice a year does not produce more emissions per person than driving that lovely expensive SUV over 12 months.

Culling the top 10% of industry that produce more than half the emission would be extremely more helpful than pissing on people using planes.

Not flying is much easier to accomplish than not using a car.

For short trips (anything that takes less than a day by train basically), flying is the dirtiest way to go. For very long trips, flying actually causes less emissions than if you went by car or train. Not to mention that most people won't want to travel three days when they can also do it in six hours.

But consider that you don't actually have to go jet setting across the world constantly.

Is that 10 years under the, in my opinion highly improbable, assumption that the United States of America will do a 180°? Because from where I'm standing, the United States will never come around, thus any savings me make, will just be gobbled up by the insatiable consumption beast that is America until we all drown and/or boil in the oceans.

And while this might be a surprsie due to my very pro American posting persona, I'm not feeling morally convinced for the rest of the world to cut back just so the Americans get another decade or so of unfettered consumption until the curtain falls.

You're technically right, but only went as deep as you wanted to go.

When it comes to achieving the goals travel achieves, not using cars is muuuuch easier than not using a plane. Using a plane is only easier if you're willing to not actually accomplish your travel goal.

Edit: Also like, flying planes is utterly miserable. Unless you're super rich and can afford first class everytime, no significant part of the population likes flying, so the fliers have to have a quite high motivation to accomplish their travelling goals.

See I hate flying and love overnight trains. So for me not flying and not driving are equally easy in most situations.

The worst thing about German trains are the groups of loud drunks that are inexplicably everywhere. Young men or pensioners of either gender, please party at home in your barn and be civilised on the train.

Long ago I got near maximum population in Sim City for the SNES by building up a huge, min-maxed city and then ripping out all the streets again and replacing them with rails. Reduced the air pollution by a huge amount. This looks like it could work in real life, too.

in Germany easily, due to population density of cities. in the USA they'd need to rebuild all of the suburbs and move people into apartments

IMO drunk Kegelmannschaften and Verspätungen are part of the Deutsche Bahn experience. Just accept it and your life will be much easier.

Though gently caress that guy who plopped himself down opposite me and slowly ate what looked like several Räucheraale mit Remoulade, that's pro tier trolling. Whole train kept looking at their crotches and awkwardly sniffing the air. I ended up switching wagons.

I'm a lovable meme.

Yes let us talk down and demonize other people about potentially contributing to 0.00645 of CO2 emissions and get bogged down into discussions about that rather than tackling the issue of generating almost half our energy by burning coal in TYOL 2019


seriously it's cool that people buy bamboo toothbrushes and all that (which are shipped in from other continents) in order to save the environment. but maybe the effort would be better spent to improve the source of 90% of our emissions rather than the remaining 10%.
