Technically, he would be right.

Multiply that type of thinking by the number of people in the world... the result is no one does anything and the problem never gets solved because everyone is hyper-fixated with their individualist ways of thinking.

Everyone must do what they can. That's how the problem gets solved. It really is as simple as that.

And then people say 'oh per capita we are bad.'

So 'per capita', what difference will one person make? What difference will half the country make if they reduce their own emissions 50%?

Its a meaningless number.

It's the furthest thing from meaningless. It's estimated that the world's richest 10% of people are responsible for half of all emissions, and the world's poorest 50% of people are responsible for just 8%. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/20/rich...t-report-.html

Instead of bickering around on stupidity like that, we should be focusing on large scale projects and technology to reduce emissions, and export that technology to the entire world.

You had me on board. But then...

Such as LNG production

If you spend all your time talking about exporting natural gas and none of your time talking about renewables, you come across as a fossil fuel shill. Just sayin.
