    The emissions from 20 cars driving in circles for a few hours a week could continue until the end of humanity and still be just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of damage the production industry has done up to this point.

      bud the bucket overflowed a long, long time ago. now it’s pouring over the rim, and you’re like: eh, it’s just a few thousand tons of CO2 every year, for funsies, it won’t matter.

      it all matters. you’re just too vroom vroom to fucking care.

        The emissions from the cars themselves isn’t even 2000 tons of CO2. That’s 1/200000 of 1% of annual emissions. If you’re that concerned, you shouldn’t be on this site because the server, your computer, and your router are all adding CO2 to the atmosphere.

            Then you better not live in a house, turn your lights on, use your computer, go to the grocery store, go see a movie, go to a concert, buy anything at all, travel any other way than by foot. Or you could put your effort into something that’ll actually make a difference.

              quack quack quack, sure bud, you know the math, it’s easy to figure out: you’re adding to it… FOR FUN.

              I don’t.

              Don’t worry, one day you’ll get there, and meanwhile, your children will rightfully despise you regardless.

                Oh, so now it doesn’t all matter?

                If you really don’t do anything fun that contributes to CO2 emissions, you don’t do anything fun at all. Unless you live in the woods and survive off nuts and berries, you’re doing something that contributes to worsening the atmosphere.

                  you’re doing something that contributes to worsening the atmosphere.

                  Yes, I live in society. I don’t take my entertainment from watching idiots dump burned hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, though. Only someone sick in the head sees that and thinks: ooh, ah, this is FUN.

                  this all really hurt feelings, didn’t it, vroom vroom?

                  hope it keeps you up at night.

                    No, you just get your entertainment from arguing with strangers on the internet (which accounts for way more emissions than F1 does)

                    I’m gonna sleep so well tonight knowing I get to wake up tomorrow and watch vroom vroom while you watch paint dry

          Sometimes the build race tracks specifically for single races. That’s awful
