Consumer demand never makes a dent on emissions? So if everyone in your city became a vegan overnight, the grocery store would keep on buying the same amount of meat and letting it rot on the shelves?
Wow, I should start selling bridges to grocery store managers
One, that’s not a realistic scenario. Two, companies make more money by selling to other companies, not us. This whole thing of blaming the regular people for excess waste and pollution was a ploy by companies to get away with it.
During the pandemic, even tho nobody was using their cars, the amount of pollution from fossil fuels didn’t change at all. It was statistically insignificant. That’s enough proof to me that blaming us for the sins of unregulated industries is stupid.
Did you miss the massive amount of environmental clearing up that happened during the pandemic? Sure, right after we went straight back up to previous levels, but during it, it was severely reduced

I generally agree with your first point, but you are wrong about pandemic pollution levels.
