You're free to do so if you also buy your own exclusive air supply that never touches our air. And never drive on public roads that everyone else pays for and uses - because then you are contributing to road wear and higher accident rates.

It's just plain gross incompetence at this point to think any of this about creating a safer society. How laughable.


Reductio ad absurdum etc. But continue feeling smug if that suits you.

Because it's not cognitive dissonance.

You seem to think "If you're so worried about climate change why do you participate in _____" is some kind of gotcha winning card to play in any climate-related argument. Taken to its logical, absurd conclusion, anyone that doesn't kill themselves immediately is equally responsible for climate change as someone emitting millions of tons of carbon a year.

You lack wisdom. You don't debate in good faith.
