Wouldn't the private jet people be off the charts of this "carbon footprint tracker," or does that only apply to consumers who fly economy?

Only sad virtue signalers who eat this crap up would yes to this. Sounds like Fitbits for nitwits..

This is like the scam the Davos Bankster Psychopaths are pushing called ESG (Environment, Sustainability, Governance). Tesla is not on their ESG top 500 list but Exxon is at #8. It's related to their Net Zero scam, which is just another carbon trading, financialization of carbon scam, used to be called Cap & Trade but that scam was a total failure, so they changed the name to Net Zero so the billionaires can make more easy, government guaranteed profits while doing zip to reduce emissions. A Financialization of Carbon Fraud that only makes the worst emitters, the most guilty = the Rich, even wealthier, while doing nothing to reduce emissions except to promote energy poverty for the 99%, energy gluttony for the 1%. Essentially they are in a roundabout way creating energy rationing but doing it in the exact opposite of how rationing is supposed to be done, that is applied equally to everyone not just to the poor & middle class.

If they really cared about climate change (hint: they don't), they would throw that net zero scam into the garbage bin where it belongs and institute the CF&D (what the #1 climate scientist James Hansen recommends), the Revenue Neutral Carbon Fee & Dividend which penalizes the energy hog rich and rewards the energy frugal middle class & poor while eliminating preferential subsidies, mandates and exemptions given to the political favorites wind & solar. They are favorites because they cost $trillions but do zip to reduce fossil consumption, apart from causing energy poverty --> reduced emissions.

These scam Carbon Credit resellers will be bleeding us dry. They buy up forested land, i.e. in Brazil. They call it a protected carbon storage site, so they get big $$$ for that. Since carbon credits are considered sacred they get to boot natives off of the land. The natives despise these Carbon Credit Scams. And then they claim they've saved all of this forest carbon storage from being released by logging, agriculture or ranching. Which is BS to begin with because all that happens is that activity just moves to another location.

But add to that their wonderful forest carbon reservoir accidentally (on purpose) burns down with a forest fire, releasing all that carbon to the atmosphere. But their carbon credit payments they stole off of us aren't returned. So now they get to take that same piece and call it a Reforestation Carbon Credit site and get paid even more than they got from the first scam. Presumably after they cash in on that the forest will burn down again for another cycle of " milking the gullible Western consumers ".

Virtually all of the Carbon Credit scams don't include nuclear energy, most don't include large hydro either, so they exclude the two energy sources that ACTUALLY do reduce emissions. They give 100% credit to wind/solar, pretending that they are a 1:1 replacement for the dirtiest coal @ 1100gms CO2/kwh, that's nonsense. They ignore all the huge energy inefficiency losses that intermittent wind/solar cause i.e.: Curtailment? No. Overbuild? No. Cycling Inefficiencies? No. Economic forcing of low efficiency diesel & OCGT instead of high efficiency supercritical coal, CCGT & hydro? No. Long distance 3-10X oversized transmission? No. Extremely low EROI (energy return on invested). No. High materials inputs, >20X nuclear? No. Huge waste recycling energy cost? No. Creating 2 grids which must run in parallel? No. And yet these same Grifters get paid huge credits for "Energy Efficiency" projects. What a Scam.

It's through buying credits from these giant industrial wind and solar, bird munching, Eco-destructive installations that Apple, Microsoft, Amazon & Google/Alphabet have achieved the top 5 on the ESG top 500 list. It's all nonsense. This marketing of wind & solar credits shows an almost total lack of understanding of grid architecture. They have NEGATIVE environmental value. That's right they actually increase grid emissions.

I know 2 people who say, "I don't have as much energy as I used to have." Neither have had the coof before or after the jab, as far as I know. I don't know lots of jabbed people, I guess.

What really pisses people off is none of this applies to them. There is maybe 18k "elites". I am sure we can handle them with forks, not even pitch forks.

I hope they come in different sizes. I'll probably need a large. Not Algore large, I don't have a jet, but my utility sends me a form letter occasionally with a bar graph comparing my usage with my neighbors, always showing I'm much higher than them. Which is fine, but I know my neighbors, and I don't use more than they do. I need to ask if they get those letters too, and if they are also higher than the neighbors. I suspect shenanigans.

I didn't respond to your request for stories for the same reason I don't respond to Kirsch's survey requests -- it won't help. The issue isn't emotions, it's financial. They require repeated vax because it's profitable. The authorities demanding our obedience don't care if we're sad. We need to make them stop, but sympathy won't work. We'll have time for sympathy when it's over.

There are two problems with the idea of an "individual carbon footprint tracker."

The first is that the notion of a "carbon footprint" is the epitome of junk science. And in the realm of climate change alarmism--err..."science"--that is saying something!

The second is this: who has the moral authority to "monitor" your "carbon footprint"? Within the US, where in the Constitution is any level of government empowered with such authority? (Understand that, per the 9th and 10th Amendments, where the Constitution is silent the presumption goes against government authority.)

So to your "no and no" permit me to add "and HELL NO!"
