Big numbers, but tiny in comparison to transport, which itself is small compared to industry

As I said at the actual calculation, it was shockingly small. The biggest part of the savings would come from the bulbs lasting at least 12 times longer (thus less embedded emissions from production and transportation).

Valid, but let's not move the goal posts; new light bulbs were specifically questioned and, thanks to someone's willingness to do some research and number crunching, light bulbs were specifically answered.

Let's at least give thanks before we vault off to the next, existentially exhausting, item on the list of climate change issues.

It's not like we don't have time. Right xuys? Right?
