America’s richest 10% are responsible for 40% of climate change. You’re butthurt that I’m using living modestly while rich assholes profit from making the climate problem exponentially worse. I would say don’t bootlick for the rich, but I’m not sure you’re intelligent enough to change your worldview “bud”.
You’re sharing the same article I’m quoting from, which is making a stupid argument.
If you want to fight climate change, you must understand that aggregate demand is the driver of climate change. Companies don’t get rich by fucking up the planet. Companies get rich by selling people shit. The shit they sell is fucking up the planet. Cut the demand and you lessen the fuckening.
The way forward is by tackling aggregate demand, ideally through carbon taxes and investment/subsidies in green technologies.
I am a literal climate lobbyist, and this is the angle actual people involved in fighting climate change work from.
I’m a climate scientist and a sociologist. If you think that we can get everyone on the same page about giving up their personal liberties and small pleasures (like eating meat) so the rich can continue to exploit the problem further for their own profit, we’ve already lost.
The only path forward is to jail the corporate executives and rich assholes causing the lion’s share of the issue, but instead we get bootlickers arguing for an impossible goal of herding a bunch of cats to stop doing something they love to make up for problems mostly caused by the richest 10%.
If you think that we can get everyone on the same page
I literally say the opposite of this
The only path forward is to jail the corporate executives and rich assholes causing the lion’s share of the issue
In addition to being completely unhinged, this does not address demand at all and someone else will simply start selling those fuels and products/services

You’re either lying or terrible at your job.
