They’ll say that but it’s a rationalization, not a reason. They’re starting from “climate change is BS” and figuring out a reason for it. If it’s not this so-called hypocrisy then it’ll be something else. People do need to understand that it’s not hypocritical to say there’s a need for a systemic change, and not live as if the change had already occurred. If the ship is headed for an iceberg, it’s not hypocritical of me to argue that the ship needs to be turned, while not also going out on the front and blowing to the side to add some insignificant turning force. But if they understood that, they’d probably have enough systems-level thinking to realize that climate change is real and an actual problem.
