I wouldn't put too much stock into personal carbon footprint estimates.

It's just a way of re-framing the carbon problem away from those actually responsible for it and turn it into to a battle between folks arguing who is more virtuous.

Thought experiment:

What if we removed the "people" from the problem and just looked at the geographic area?

Does a rural 10 square mile produce as much GHG as an urban 10 square mile?

--

When you analyze it based on personal carbon footprint you are ignoring business and industry and focusing on residential.

This is by design, so those responsible aren't even included in the equation.

Marriage is more like a good wood fired furnace. If you put in the effort it will keep you warm and happy. If you forget to tend to the logs and the fire your home will grow cold and unwelcoming.

I do raise meat animals.

This is life. We must eat. Large scale plant agriculture is also destructive. There is no escape.

It's not an addiction it's a matter of human biology. We are meat eaters. Shall we regulate the CO2 we exhale?

Animals converting plants to meat/protein is more efficient than humans directly eating an entirely plant based diet.
