This is a flame (or troll) and has no place on HN.

  I don't believe that's true, it is a valid point: a lot of us talk a good game about caring for the environment, but when push comes to shove we are unwilling to give up luxuries we've grown accustomed to.

    That might be the case for many people^, bit it's a different thing to say than "these are, to a large extent, the same people who..." which imo is a flame if it goes without figures to back it up. ^) Although not for me, many people I know in the climate movement, and some figureheads like Greta Thunberg. There have also been comments from scientists who find having to fly to conferences problematic. But that's all anecdotal.
