Sounds like someone isn't willing to personally sacrifice for climate change...

He's not wrong. There's no way to coordinate any boycott of any product on the scale you'd need to shut down an entire industry, especially one so deeply tied to human culture.

Sounds like someone else isn't willing to sacrifice...

My guy, it's the truth. It's not possible to coordinate any boycott of any product on the scale you'd need to to effectively reduce climate change. There are too many people with too many diverse opinions, worldviews, and situations for it to be possible or effective. You need a better plan that'll actually work instead of just moralizing it because you're angry at everyone else.

This @pintdrunkenelephant guy's a reactionary dog with a bone they can't let go of. An antagonist and contrarian, the antithesis of what they preach, unable to see the big picture, and nothing will ever be good enough for them till the world burns. I wouldn't bother mate.
