I'm not going to justify all of the things I do. There's more.
Of course, you're too goddamn obtuse to have a discussion with, so there's little point.
I didn't ask you to justify anything. You're the one who brought these things up as if you're Mother effing Teresa. Owning a high efficiency AC and appliances is your contribution?! Do you realize (you don't) that if everyone on earth owned such things CO2 emissions would skyrocket? The only thing you're "contributing" is far more carbon than the average human being. That, and huge gobs of hypocrisy.
You are melting down over the US withdrawing from a non-binding agreement you have not even read while enjoying your carbon spewing AC, fridge, and internet most of the world will never experience.
The best part of your ignorant, whiny, sniveling, delusional, hypocritical, and pretentious rant is that, just like all the liberals in meltdown, you have no recognition of how ignorant, whiny, sniveling, delusional, hypocritical, and pretentious you are. It is hilarious!
I love how if you don't live in a mud hut, you're a hypocrite. To assume that life is so binary that if you aren't living on the extreme fringe that you don't have a dog in the fight.
Do I make the vast majority of my purchasing decisions on energy efficiency where applicable? Yes. Do I use more carbon than your average European? Yes. Do I live in the most powerful country in the world that could do something relevant about Climate Change? Yes.
Once I can legitimately replace my roof tiles with ones from Solar City that power my Tesla Power Wall, I will. Once Tesla, or other automotive providers, create diverse, cost effective transportation powered solely by batteries, I'll buy them. There? Does that make you happy? I'm sorry that I don't have an option to buy an electric van. That's a Detroit problem, not a me problem.
Maybe I want to live in a country where we continue to use the EPA to push American innovation in the automotive industry for better gas mileage, less emissions, and more options for consumers to buy environmentally friendly vehicles.
Maybe I want to live in a country where we make it a priority to use subsidies and tax breaks to help make living environmentally friendly much more palatable. More tax breaks for solar and wind. More subsidies for efficient products.
But here is the damn fallacy that makes me so angry at the Republican party and their supporters; why try and stifle what would be great for America, American industry, and the world in the long run? Other than the obvious truth that the vast majority of Republicans are on the fossil fuel lobby payroll, but beyond them being sniveling, morally bankrupt cowards, why are they against pumping some life into an industry that is set to outpace fossil fuel job creation by vast margins in the next decade? To prevent a guy working at an industry on the tail end of the product life cycle from losing his job? He'll get another job if he takes advantage of job training that the government "could" ultimately help provide and subsidize.
This is just one issue that is so damn cut and dry that it's hard to imagine anyone being against it. Unless the limit of someone's vision is five feet in front of their face, that is.
