Horse shit. No one gets that wealthy without making some anti climate decisions. That class of people have the power to make significant sacrifice for the better while normal folks have the power to make very tiny sacrifices.

Not saying we shouldn’t all be doing our best but at this point in time the ones with power are steering the ship.

I agree that consumers generally prefer to buy from people who make anti-climate decisions.

But it doesn't have to be that way. You can buy from those who make climate-friendly decisions instead. It will no doubt cost a lot more in the typical case as destroying the climate is a lot easier than not, but you can't have it both ways.

For a lot of people it does have to be that way though. I just saw an article claiming 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They can’t really decide to take the more expensive climate friendly way. A billionaire could absolutely decide to do that though.
