I rarely argue online lately but I'll bite.
I think similar to your friend.
I'm anti-everything that pollutes even on a more instinctive level because my nose just can't handle gas odors / car exhaust etc I just hate it.
You will never fix climate change without first fixing wealth inequality.
Ain't no chance in hell John Doe will start biking to his workplace where he'll arrive drenched in sweat while he sees the CEO arriving in a private helicopter.
Another example: Bill Gates being a climate change activist, a noble cause of course but the guy owns the largest fleet of private jets no I do not care he offsets it with credits.
Forget about John Doe, think of Jose Gonzalez in some South American shithole, guy makes less than $50 a week as a taxi driver in his own car, his catalytic converter breaks down and it costs $500 you think he's going to replace it? No way.
I'm inviting everyone in this thread to step into the real world for a moment.
