I never said that, don't strawman me. Also i do not defend billionaires. But climate change is not a billionaire problem. Framing it as such while the whole western world is living so much above anything sustainable is just self-righteous.

And of course some emissions are really hard/nearly impossible to avoid when living in such a society. I'm no angel in that regard too. Also it's hard to keep the motivation up while so many of us don't even acknowledge the problem or just don't give a shit.

But in my mind there are certain things which are just plain "shitting on the future": Flying is one of those. And after this summer i'm done not speaking it out.
