Symptoms need treatment, too

That's one way for bird feathers to be colorful (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_coloration ), the other being more traditional pigments!

To be clear: the direction I'd like to see isn't ignoring larger-scale changes but embracing that these things are linked. Companies don't burn fuel for fun, but for profit (or non-capitalist modes of resource allocation - if the central party committee decides to satiate the people's hunger for meat and cars, that's also a problem). And the profit there comes from all of us, individually as well as collectively. So action against that probably should also happen on both levels.

I'm being a bit annoying about it because the companies don't burn all that crap for fun but, as you laid out, for our collective consumption patterns. I developed the impression that the whole "x companies do y% of emissions!" thing, similar to "no ethical consumption" reminders tends to fulfill a function not aimed at motivating larger-scale changes (e.g. banning animal agriculture wholly instead of making an individual choice to not consume em; banning ICE cars from being produced/sold while creating comprehensive public transport instead of merely biking to work yourself) but at detaching oneself from the role we do actually play in society. (Also, smaller/individual scale weirdoes are a good source of activists that can radiate social structures out into general society)

No, why do they produce all the emissions?

Huh, odd, why do they do this?

Full size as it would be printed on a physical page vs large size as it's in the database, maybe

No, pollen is actually more like a separate generation of the plant, a (micro)gametophyte. They are whole organisms that produce sperm when certain conditions are met.

So it's a whole bunch of organisms just waiting to get sperm out, hanging out in your nose

Well, in Germany the cyclists would have the law 100% on their side and win every case.

Law on their side: probably Winning cases: aus Mangel öffentlichen Interesses eingestellt..
