I actually agree with the logic of this argument but it still seems misguided. I agree with all of what you said, but I also think that the problem is still that palm oil actually is worth more than the forest. It's correct to lay the responsibility with the more developed economies imo because they're the ones identifying the problem and best positioned to solve it, but I don't think this line of reasoning has political potential. What average person is going to feel responsible for environmental ills in other countries? The French protestors whose breaking straw was a gas tax? The broader USA with its ethos of personal responsibility? We need a new strategy that isn't just screaming at people or guilting them.
