re: #138 SanFranciscoZionist

The two things I most see are that he leads a wealthy international lifestyle, which of necessity means he’s maintaining a large personal carbon footprint (and people feel personally affronted, as a result, when they imagine him asking them to make sacrifices).

And also concern about his investment in green industries, which I don’t get at all.

Yes.
I feel personally affronted when he asks me to make sacrifices, drive less-safe cars, yada yada yada, when does not seem to be inclined to reduce his carbon footprint.

Yes. It is personally aggravating to me.

He can support and promote any “green” thing he wants, especially if what he is supporting will make it affordable for me to reduce my carbon footprint.

But don’t lecture me ‘cause I drive a gas-guzzling vehicle, and then have several homes that include spas, fountains, swimming pools and nine bathrooms.
