Seriously, it’s everywhere these days, and is so hard to stomach.
“Who is actually producing the carbon and the pollution in the world? It is the consumers of our oil.” -a big dumb idiot quoted in the article.
That’s such an absurd way of looking at things. Tobacco, guns, highly-addictive pharmaceuticals, alcohol, etc. etc. have all been on the wrong side of history with this kind of blame-the-consumer deflection.
It’s hilarious that it needs to be said, but: I can’t consume something if you don’t produce it.
