But rich people destroy any movement that tries to change things on a big scale. Even this "personal carbon footprint" thing is an invention of big oil companies to STOP change for the better.
We have to blame rich people. As Marlene Engelhorn said: If rich people wanted to save the world, they would already have done it.

@Drude It's not just rich. It's also the people. The rich are aligned with working class in these issues. Socialists and unions were pushing more cheap coal and oil until 90s. Left is now educated or wealthy and working class is right in US and many European countries because cheap gas is what people want. If oil company makes 10% profit, 90% of the benefit goes to consumer. ps. If you earn more than $60,000 you are in global top 1% in income.
