Nothing I said was stupid. Actions speak louder than words. If there actually was a “climate crisis,” all of the people advancing that narrative from world leaders to “scientists” would start acting like it by radically altering their personal lifestyles. They’d all make sacrifices to “save the planet.” But none of them do. Not a single one. World leaders still fly on private jets. Politicians and wealthy academics still buy oceanfront property. “Scientists” still travel to conferences by air that could be held on a Zoom call (Zoom has an extended meeting feature allowing up to 5,000 participants). And this idea that you can have your carbon sins forgiven by purchasing “carbon credits” is akin to indulgences. Many of them still drive ICEs or use them in some capacity (e.g., rentals, Uber, taxi). Most of them live in fossil fuel-powered homes and apartments. They use indoor plumbing, running water, HVAC, and WiFi, which all require coal or natural gas to function. If people like you were actually climate crusaders, you would opt to give up your modern luxuries and lead by example. But you don’t want to be inconvenienced, and would rather spend your time online virtue signaling about climate in the same manner you are virtue signaling about the Russia–Ukraine War having the Ukrainian flag as your profile picture instead of enlisting in their army, putting your boots on the ground, and fighting for them. Quite frankly, unless you are posting on here from Gilligan’s Island using some contraption made by Professor Hinkley, I don’t care what you have to say about climate change.
