Lots of things produce lots of ghg emissions. Here's a breakdown.

What if I told you that the reason I want to save the planet and conserve energy is so that future generations can experience the things that make humanity so amazing?

Like when your favorite band in the world plays a live show in your home town.

Saving the planet means acknowledging that certain things never should have existed in the first place.

Alright, so I guess we should just visit local concerts that we can only access by bus/train, since it's putting less strain on the environment. All bands play in the same area, or at least in the same country (state, if you're thinking big, like the US or similarly sized countries).

But there's NO way people from other states/countries wouldn't want to visit their concert at least once. So every single concert, you would have people travel to your area from different countries, probably taking the plane. So now, instead of one band flying to places, you get dozens of people taking flights from various countries. Every single concert.

It feels a bit like ordering online, where there is only one guy in a van delivering stuff to dozens of households instead of those households driving to the brick-and-mortar shop one by one.

I'm not saying the current system is optimal. But I really wonder how else we could solve this particular problem.

Like musical tours?

OKay we get it it's a bad faith classic, but it's also true.

Swift talks about the environment yet flies her damn jet as much as possible

Swift is just an emotional support billionaire for liberals.

There are no ethical billionaires, and this includes Swift.
