This argument assumes even distribution of wealth, which is a remarkably bad assumption. Most consumers are put in the position of having to choose between different variations of economic survival and weighing in options like carbon-neutrality is often completely out of the question in favor of other products that are cheaper (granted, they're only cheaper because "the elites" have found a way to externalize the costs of their production onto the rest of society). So yes, when the distribution of wealth is enormously skewed towards the elites, and production follows capital, it is absolutely the fault of "the elites." Don't give me astronomically less voting power than others and then blame me for not saving the world with my vote.
