Then, you can always trust a conservative to start name-calling instead of considering the substance of anything. it makes them feel so much better..

Monbiot’s opinion piece also reflects on how everyone is trapped within consumerism in terms of their choices about energy use, ie people have little if any choice.

“In such a system, individual choices are lost in the noise. Attempts to organise boycotts are notoriously difficult, and tend to work only when there is a narrow and immediate aim. The ideology of consumerism is highly effective at shifting blame: witness the current ranting in the billionaire press about the alleged hypocrisy of environmental activists. Everywhere I see rich westerners blaming planetary destruction on the birth rates of much poorer people, or on “the Chinese”. This individuation of responsibility, intrinsic to consumerism, blinds us to the real drivers of destruction.”

swedish teenager Greta Thunberg copped a huge amount of invective from conservatives in the billionaire press merely for the way she travelled. Are these conservatives desperate or what.
