Is it just me or has the disdain/venom in how people discuss the notion that they have moral responsibility to anyone other than themselves increased in recent years?

Where is the venom? As to disdain there is a core of truth which is easily explained by the large number of people who - though social media or otherwise - portray their affluent jet-setting life styles with a little bit of green-wash that just does not fit well with the current discourse which centres around the reduction of consumption and energy use. If you choose to fly around the world while simultaneously trying to convey your dedication to the "climate cause" you should expect to be chastised for it. If you just fly around the world without adding indulgences you will still be chastised but at least you're more honest about the fact that you simply care more about your own convenience.

Not just you. Selfish ME ME ME is the current zeitgeist. Heavily sponsored by today's robber barons who are taking the obvious action to deflect attention from their corporate empires towards identity politics.
