You know, I don't disagree with your ultimate point. But if you look through this comment chain you should recognize that the way you chose to make it is:
Needlessly antagonistic, and (therefore)
Not very effective
If you wanted to convince anyone or provoke interesting discussion I think you failed.
In the future, you should just make your argument/statement instead of asking "clever" bad faith questions.
Yes, but let's not lose sight of what's really important, by sacrificing the planet we've successfully prevented a few billionaires from having to sell their yachts.
This "joke" is more damaging than anything I have said and should be called out as such. Corporations directly try to convince people that there is nothing the individual can do to change the environment so they might as well just use as much oil and gas as they like.
It's a direct play out of the oil and gas PR system and people are doing it for free. Billionaires want people to not blame themselves and it's working.
All because people want to absolve themselves of all responsibility.
Billionaires are wasteful. But the damage to the world is coming more from the average person than from the Billionaires.
