its actually propaganda, a campaign by the oil/gas industry to avoid reducing thier own emissions or pollutions, thats why many countries arnt very keen on reducing it. they funded things like “how to reduce your carbon footprint, use less gas, or electricity” plus all those climate protesters you heard about defacing historic places, are funded by them.

i was watching some animal videos one day, and the presenter was promoting this “carbon footprint” company, and the commenters called it out that these companies are funded by the oil-gas industry, luckily the youtube channel listened and stopped promoting them.
