    Blaming "everyone" is a sheer lack of common sense here. Consumers do NOT get to choose what products are made or even sold. That is still 100% up to industry and politics. To say that a single person's car is a "part" of the problem is a humongous overstatement. One car is merely a fraction OF a fraction. The rich and famous are STILL the ones who make decisions to these environmentally damaging products. No one else.

    The thing is there is a logical flaw in this vid: An individual does not create much of a carbon footprint that is within their ability to manage. (as mentioned in 1:58 )
    The things that are out of their ability to manage is such things like buying a E-car to reduce carbon footprint but we can't choose the resources needed to make them which creates a carbon footprint.
    Can we choose renewable energy the electricity companies give us?
    Can we choose the type of plastic companies use for our bottles?
    Yes an individual can cut down their carbon footprint but such effort is in vain if a company is producing a thousand times that, which begs the question; should we be focusing on changing how companies source things rather than an individuals carbon footprint?

    I converted a council house as part of CLG's retrofit for the future in 2015. I installed air source heat pumps and solar thermal. There was some massive problems:
    1. The heat pumps were noisy and bulky.
    2. You need to fit a hot water boiler, where if your house is small?
    3. The heat when you want it is not responsive as gas heating so you need to plan when you want to be warm.
    4. Heat pumps , ground or air, only work effectively if the property is totally insulated and virtually air tight. I had to fit 100mm thermal insulation to all internal walls.
    5. Double glazing wasn't effective. I needed triple K glass
    6. The control device is complicated and needs summer/winter timing programs
    7. I also fitted solar panels, but the roof was not new/strong enough to support the panels and needed to be replaced.
    8. I wanted ground source heat pumps but you need to bury several large coils 10ft into the ground/garden.
    9. Take up the floor and isolate every joist from the brickwork
    Total cost £143k
    After 12 months with a tenant the heat pump had to be removed as they couldn't work it properly. All in all its sounds a good idea for middle/high income earners but your average tenant in a 1940's semi will never be able to have it.

    I'm sorry this doesn't make sense to me. I understand garbage, recycling and of course private modes of transportation - public transportation should be more encouraged, even if it involves flying. But the example of meat is what I have issues with. A cow isn't cut in pieces today because I've decided to have a steak for dinner tonight. If I have fettuccine alfredo instead, that cow instead spared. No, the steak is already at the supermarket and picked up by someone's else instead of me. Nevermind the fact that meat is food and good is essential and no-one should be asked to eat less food to reduce one's carbon footprint. But maybe I'm missing something, surely, there must be something I don't understand. So pardon me if I'm being ignorant.

    The BBC need to cover the second part of this global plan to combat climate change.
    Its not just about reducing carbon emissions. But also removing the carbon that's still trapped in the atmosphere. Both plans must happen simultaneously in order to get the best outcome.
    With soo much of the rainforests and reefs disappearing there is not enough green to absorb it all before it causes too much damage to the ice caps and so forth.
    We can regrow trees, but rebuilding entire forests cut down after years of desolation will take time. Time we don't have.
    So what I believe is being done by a few scientist and engineers, is the research and construction of technology that can absorb the carbon in the atmosphere on the same level as trees would.
    I've even seen ideas for artificial trees that look like lamp posts but behave as trees do. Look it up people!

Its not you, its a cycle - They simply engineered conditions, so they had a stick to beat you with... The narrative you have been sold is a lie...
      Carbon footprint was created by British Petroleum. BP told you that you were a problem, when they sold us all the oil that was used for huge profit, while they also caused devastating oil spills as they went along.
      Then this cabal, who the BBC are a mouthpiece for, tell you that you are the problem - This is the great Carbon lie and anyone unable to see that motivation for control is the goal with this lie, is beyond stupid... I would call you an Epsilon :)

    China is currently the country with the largest carbon emissions in the world, accounting for about 30% to 45% of the world’s carbon emissions.
    China’s largest carbon emission industry is the power generation industry (mainly thermal power generation with cheap coal), which accounts for about 40% of Chinese carbon emissions.
    What adds up to china's carbon emission is the large fleet of cargo ships and airplanes China uses to export its goods. Ships run on cheap heavy oil and add another 5% Carbon dioxide
    Almost all of these ships run on fossil fuels, so they emit a lot of carbon pollution. Maritime shipping causes about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions - even more than airplanes.
    It appears ridiculous to go carbon free in Europe.

    "The common enemy of humanity is Man.
    In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up
    with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention In natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."

Perhaps we need to think twice before we cut down trees instead of worrying about our carbon foot print?
    Furthermore, I also learned in grade 7 that the human body is 18% carbon!!! Then I began to think about it and began to wonder if the goal of the WEF, to eliminate humanity and replace them with AI? Perhaps Bill Gates knows more about this!!
