Are you saying that democrats cause an inordinate amount of air pollution, or do you mean like, population density and more total cars on the road?
No, just that we already had too many people here in too small a space, now with thousands more coming

Being fat has a direct correlation to ones carbon footprint, so if you're fat, you have no right to talk about global warming.
Being fat blows, but individual carbon footprints pale in comparison to policy and industrial-scale practices. Trying to get people to focus on their own carbon footprint has been an effective policy of distraction to keep people from focusing where change is most effective, such as limiting coal and changing infrastructure design.

No they don't. When you overconsume on the individual level, en masse, like Fat America does, you place an increasing supply burden AND profit motive in front of these big bad industries you're scapegoating in this post

Well, that sorta thing is only gonna get worse I guess. I don't really see that changing direction unless there's a change in consumer culture. Cars are only gonna get so small, public transportation development is a civic nightmare, and a lot of Americans seem like castle doctrine weirdos about lands and lawns.

Not that I like randos in my backyard, either

Like high fructose corn syrup? Transporting, processing, packaging, and distributing that shit is not carbon neutral at all. However, violating HOA rules to grow vegetables in your yard instead of grass is. You can even have chicken scavenging in it

I wager it's less of a footprint than produced chicken.

Gotta real thoroughly hose down the abattoir every night, for example.
