Who has the larger carbon footprint, anyway? Is it the person who is in the audience, watching the broadcast, who has limited funds & may ride the bus to work, or is it the person who has a private jet and/or limousine, & has maybe two or three people in his family, but lives in a multi-million dollar mansion?
Don't forget that it is the greedy corporations/wealthy elites who caused the individual carbon footprint to become larger than it would be naturally. They use subliminal messaging in advertising to make people consume more than they normally would. They utilize the trance effect caused by the flicker-rate (aka refresh-rate) in television to affect the subconscious mind. They play upon the various levels of PTSD that almost every American is laboring under, which causes the insecurity that leads to increased consumerism, which in turn, leads to more profits for them.
Let me clarify here: Trauma (whether directly or indirectly experienced) causes insecurity & insecurity causes people to become more needy, which then leads to an increase in consumption of a variety of things. As a result of all the trauma people are exposed to through the news, or through being born in a hospital, or through events in infancy and/or early childhood, people end up with a problem in the psyche (spirit) which causes them to consume and waste more than they would had they not been traumatized in the first place.
Trauma, when taken in combination with TV's flicker-rate trance & post-hypnotic suggestions through subliminals in television programming & advertising, has an incredible effect on the subconscious mind, making people become shopaholics, or live beyond their means to fund that new car every couple of years. Could this be due in part to post-hypnotic suggestion and insecurities caused by trauma? How about other types of addiction? They mess with your psyche by creating unnatural insecurities & then playing upon those insecurities in their advertising, either directly or subliminally.
So, those who cause you to be more of a consumer than you would be naturally (the wealthy elites who benefit from your insecurities) are now blaming you, the individual, for the increased carbon footprint they caused you to have.
Ludicrous, isn't it?
