We recommend four widely applicable high-impact (i.e. low emissions) actions with the potential to contribute to systemic change and substantially reduce annual personal emissions: having one fewer child (an average for developed countries of 58.6tonnes CO2-equivalent (tCO2e) emission reductions per year), living car-free (2.4 tCO2e saved per year), avoiding airplane travel (1.6 tCO2e saved per roundtrip transatlantic flight) and eating a plant-based diet (0.8 tCO2e saved per year).
Why did this Herrick become involved with this guy to start with? Bad judgement on Herrick's side. Or possibly a very unclean break up from Herrick's side. In any case, he only has himself to blame for the situation.
Reminds me about ex-couples who call each other morons after the fact. But who was the other moron who got involved with this moron to start with? What does it say about you, and your judgement and common sense, who started a relationship (and possibly even had kids) with this moron?
So what? There is no human right to live your whole life at the same location. You might be aware that it is common that companies cease operation and people lose their job. If this happens in a small place you most likely have to move somewhere else to find a new job.
How about some personal responsibility? If you decide to live in the middle of nowhere you can't expect the same service as if you live in the middle of a city. There are advantages and disadvantages with all choices in life.
People living under such circumstances have a very easy choice: don't breed. That will both make their own lives easier (children are expensive and demanding) as well as prevent innocent children from suffering.
They should take some personal responsibility and adapt to a non-perfect world.

I wonder why book printers never brag about the resolution they print their books with. Maybe because the content is what matters, not the printing quality (above a, quite low, threshold). The law of diminishing return.
Besides, people buying these TVs most likely will just watch mundane crap like Star Wars on it anyway.
300 million people washing their hand 5 times a day 30 seconds (20 seconds with soap, 10 seconds to wash off the soap) = 1427 year of time wasted on hand washing every day. Per year 521 000 year are spent washing hands. If the 3 000 people that die from food poisoning every year expected life span was 80 years their deaths = 240 000 "wasted" year (not taking into account (a) that someone who is 40 years old when she dies only have 40 years left to live and, (b) people dying from food poisoning probably, in general, are old and weak, reducing the number of remaining years further).
In other words, washing your hands is a very inefficient way of spending your time if you want to use your limited time alive to do something meaningful.
That is why I have 5 different travel cards. If one is burned I just lend it to visiting friends and keep using any of the other four cards. I also refill them in random order so sometimes it could be a year between I use the same card again, meaning that anyone who think they have nailed me, only have nailed one of my cards.
The OP also misses the problem with differential privacy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ). Someone just have to following from his home to the nearest card reader a couple of times and then perform a DB-query "who used his hard at station A around 07:50 day 1, around 08:15 day 2 and around 08:10 day 3" and most likely only one card will fit all three conditions. Then you are burned again.
I decided to help out on stack overflow for a while, answering C++ questions. I stopped doing that after I found that my answers were getting downvoted to minus infinity, and then copied _word for word_ by other people who would receive massive praise for it. It was, by and large, not at all a good experience.
Thank you but no thank you. I remove my SIM-card every time I call 112 because that is the only way to prevent them from seeing my number. I share information when I want to share information.
It usually cost more energy/battery to decode modern codecs. Proof of concept: newer codecs is usually more demanding on CPU. Everything else equal, a CPU has to work harder (=cost more energy) to decode a H265-stream compared to a H264-stream, to the point where it won't keep up.
There has been around 60 documented attacks with chemical weapons by the Syrian government since the war begun. Most of them after Obama "got rid of Syria's chemical weapons".

Why wait until they've completely taken over the economy when they're already breaking the law?
That argument is violating Hume's law. Can't take anyone serious that doesn't understand why the way you argues is a fallacy.
The relevant measurement is emissions per capita not per country. Why is this so difficult to understand for passportless Americans?

It still does not deserve the label "inhumane".
Why is it "inhumane"?

They always do. If they mention Goldman-Sachs, the will add "an investment bank". I think most of their readers know what Goldman-Sachs is.
