Rural people use more fossil fuel than city people when it’s 30 miles to the grocery store.
I more less agree with you, though it is astonishing to see that the present young crop of idiots are so far out to lunch that an older vintage of idiots can even see the problem.

They are a very isolated case (in a geographic sense); it seems much of their population issues stem from interactions with others.
He also mentions that one of the stated goals of the GND is ridding the Earth of all CO2, and then moving on to eliminate all Greenhouse gasses ... effectively making Mars have more atmosphere than Earth ... how’s that for fairness?
