Reply to comment by newest-reddit-user in UN climate report: Scientists release 'survival guide' to avert climate disaster by filosoful

If the leaders who are promoting climate change aren’t doing anything personally to fight it, it’s hypocrisy plain and simple.

Nobody is promoting climate change, except oil executives.

But so what if it's hypocrisy? Who benefits from you deciding that climate change doesn't matter because of it? The same hypocrites!

If it was up to me, private jets and yachts would be illegal (or severely taxed so that the outcome would be similar) for climate reasons. Why aren't they? Because there is no strong political movement to fix it and a big reason for that is nonsense like you are peddling.

Agree on the jets and yachts. If govt was serious on climate change, they would tax the shit out of them.

Yes, but they aren't because people aren't making them—and a lot of people do not take climate change seriously because the "zone has been flooded with shit" to borrow a phrase.
