Selling out

Buying a big SUV, shopping at h&m, eating red meat multiple times a week, and flying to the other side of the world during summer, are all worse than voting for climate change. Companies don't pollute for the sake of it.

If we don't build the bombs dropped on Gaza, China will.

Check out the EPA's stats on ghg emissions at this LINK. 28% of emissions total are from non-agriculture/shipping transportation, and if you break then 57% of the 28% are light duty vehicles, all larger road vehicles are 23%, and aircraft are 9%.
Since 2005 emissions carbon-equivalent total of the USA has fallen about a billion metric tons thanks to awareness and federal programs to reduce and eliminate emissions, almost exclusively in the Electrical Power sector.
So even if you cut out all consumer non-business transport you're left with 72% of emissions. A person who votes to curttail polution does more good than a person who drives a hybrid.

I'd make way more money in defense. I've actively avoided it in my career. I spent one summer at LM as an intern. Never went back.

After I left Boeing, I made a pledge to never work for or belong to any groups that create weapons. Thankfully the X-32 failed and I got out when I did.

Yeah but you sleep gooooooood at night. That's priceless.

Be the change you wish to see in the world

Some of us don't have our souls up for sale and never will.

What if you're making the missiles more accurate?

Sure, my price is making enough money on my first day there to solve world hunger.

Someone else can solve that. None of us has infinite energy, so imma use what I got on what I want.
It ain't weapons, bub.

What if I have only ever worked constructively on anti-missile defense systems?

Hybrids don't reduce CO2 emissions that much anyway. Better to go all electric and vote for climate protection.

That’s a harder question to answer and depends more on your own moral compass. Do you believe that having better defensive capabilities empowers the users of your creation to feel safe enough to do evil things? I certainly don’t think you could absolve the makers of anti-missile systems who supply militaries that are committing genocide.

Such as if Trump would start to send anti-missile systems to Russia.

It could be worse like the insurance industry. It's bad that we need tools of war, but it is not like raping you and your doctor for your health care while making the CEO and investors rich.
