This happens to be the kind of individualistic framing that plays into Big Carbon’s hand 😬 They themselves invented the “carbon footprint.”

That's true. Since now the framing has been normalized, we might as well start pointing out where the problem lies though. In particular, I think it's useful to note that rich western countries consume far more energy than the global majority, while doing practically nothing to facilitate the transition from fossil fuels.
