People often react to the phrase “carbon footprint” with something about how it’s coined by the fossil fuel industry to direct blame from producers to consumers, but I think there’s still something extremely valuable about looking at emissions per capita -
graph one: total CO2 emissions, NOT per capita, by region. By 2020, China, the US, the EU, India, and Russia are the largest players, with the entire rest of the world barely surpassing China’s emissions.
Graph two: The same regions but weighted per capita.
The US is unique in being extremely emissions-intense per capita while also being large and wealthy. This graph doesn’t count emissions generated in China to produce goods shipped to America - it counts those under China’s emissions.
do people even know the extent of sanctions on the iranian people? my mom’s family can’t afford fruit anymore. it’s a state of psychological warfare; literally nobody living there has any sort of hope for the future. added sanctions from the EU are going to destroy the lives of 87 million innocent people

hamas also has not admitted to lying. the health ministry has “admitted’ to incomplete records for many deaths (over 10,000) which, even if those deaths were incorrectly tallied, would still leave thousands dead. however, it is difficult to maintain perfect records when nearly everything in your city is destroyed.
Since it’s election year in the US, I think everyone should check open secrets to see if the candidate they’re voting for has taken money from AIPAC. Any vote cast towards a recipient of AIPAC funds is a vote cast towards the genocide of Palestinians.
HERE is a source you can use for this. TrackAIPAC tells you who (from House/Senate) has taken AIPAC money, how much they’ve taken, and when they’re up for re-election. Time to get these Zios out of office.
