The moralizing is from people using shame as a strategy to affect public policy and/or gain power, I don’t think it’s much deeper than that. Shame can be very effective as most people are hard wired to respond to shame. The issue is that shame can be shunted into minor things to resolve it, buying a carbon neutral Apple Watch, Tesla or recycling can dissipate the shame for an individual leaving us with a problem and no real solution.
I personally think we will survive the climate catastrophe. It might be a Black Death type event, horrific and painful for everyone. But a wiser breed of humans will emerge on the other side.
