I mean it is a part of it. But you could stop today and it won't help the climate. Half a nation could stop today it today and it would be a drop in the bucket.

It's industry. It's the freight ships burning tons of dirty oil. It's the coal fired plants and factories. It's the trucks and fossil fuels trains going cross country. It's utility companies still using fossil fuels. It's the oil and gas corporations regional monopolies using capitalism to kill us all.
