The other problem is that "reducing emissions" mostly just means "hiding emissions". We can change their form, we can minimize the effects that are visible on a large scale, but pollution is still occurring whether we are self-deluded about it or not.
Be careful not to fart. Soon the EPA will be monitoring your emissions.
