Of course we can, but that's not how history works. People do what they will do based on their conditioning and material conditions. Of course not always, but enough where we can derive conclusions. Scolding and finger wagging isn't going to fix this problem. If you think one sliver of the population of Earth gives one single solitary fuck about reducing their carbon footprint, I have a bridge to sell you.

Look, I respect you and your take, I'm not trying to be an asshole. I just genuinely don't think your approach is a viable method of achieving what you're saying.
