We all have a role to play in the fight against climate change. It doesn't help pointing the finger at another group of people and say that it's all their fault and that they have to fix it. It's like with taxing the wealthy. Everybody agrees the wealthier part of the population should be taxed more, but no one considers himself wealthy enough to fall in that category.

> We all have a role to play in the fight against climate change. Yes. That's why I am proposing a real solution compared to relying on billions of people changing their habits which are intentionally forced on them by the environment. > It's like with taxing the wealthy. Everybody agrees the wealthier part of the population should be taxed more, but no one considers himself wealthy enough to fall in that category. Not comparable. Everyone who invests in companies that harm the environment get taxed heavily on their investment to offset the carbon emissions. There is no subjective wealth factor here.
