It's Your Fault

I seldom touch the topic of global warming because too many people treat it like a religion. You're either a believer or you're wrong. But there's one aspect about this discussion that never fails to amuse me. Those who believe that it's happening and it's manmade also unanimously agree that it's your fault. Yes, you. The person reading this right now. Global warming is your fault.

I feel confident in staying this because I don't believe I have any politicians or extremely wealthy (I'm talking private jet and yacht wealth) individuals reading my blog. A lot of them, at least in public, believe that global warming is happening and it's manmade. They believe this so strongly that they fly their private jets to resort locations multiple times per year to discuss the topic with each other. These discussions take place in comfortable, climate controlled event centers. They're catered with exquisite foods. The guests enjoy refined luxury accommodations.

During these events, they discuss many topics including causes of global warming. Too many people running air conditioners, too many people driving cars, too many people flying, too many people eating meat that comes from cows whose farts cause the temperature to rise. They also discuss ways to fix global warming. Stop people from running their air conditioners... unless they own multiple mansions. Require people to use mass transit... unless they're important enough to warrant a private car. Prohibit people from flying... unless they own private jets. Force people to eat vegetarian food... unless they're wealthy enough to afford carbon credits to go with their meat.

When the conference is over, the attendees board their private jets and fly back to one of their mansions.

The best example of global warming being your fault is probably the recent announcements surrounding energy production for "AI." Ever since the mainstream noticed Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, we've been told how terrible they are for the environment due to their power usage and that they must be shutdown to save Mother Gaia. When several large, wealth corporations like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft started investing in "AI," it was quickly noticed that they too require tremendous amounts of power. Were we told that "AI" needed to be shutdown to save Moth Gaia? No! Instead we're being told that nuclear power plants will be built to feed these massive power hogs. Why weren't new nuclear power plants given as an option when we little people wanted to create our own currency? Hell, why weren't new nuclear power plants mentioned when we little people wanted to run our air conditioners? Because we're little people.

When hundreds of little people board a passenger jet to fly somewhere, it's bad for the environment. When hundreds of wealthy people each board a separate private jet to fly somewhere, it's not bad for the environment. When you drive your car somewhere, it's bad for the environment. When a politician has an entire motorcade to drive somewhere, it's not bad for the environment. When you run your air conditioner, it's bad for the environment. When companies owned by billionaires or governments air condition hundreds of massive office buildings and data centers, it's not bad for the environment.

The next time you watch a politician or a billionaire talk about global warming and propose solutions that force you to sacrifice your quality of life, ask yourself what their environmental impact is. I think you'll quickly conclude that it's far greater than your own. With that realization in mind, ask yourself why you're being the one blamed and forced to sacrifice your quality of life.
