Yet, they chose this title to join the hate bandwagon. There's no chance they weren't aware of what associations this title will provoke.

Indeed, this must be a major part of the equation, but isn't the climate crisis so serious that environment-conscious people should chip away wherever it is possible? Specifically, flights have a really high carbon footprint, yet I don't seem a meaningful shift in behavior, no matter the age. This is the hypocrisy, young people making no sacrifices to their personal life, yet jumping on any opportunity to blame the old generation that they didn't sacrifice parts of their comfort for them.
But I don't want to play the blame game. It won't help find a solution, only spread hate.
