These issues are sociaital and everyone has some level of responsibility. Finger pointing at those who were able to profit isn't particularly helpful or even true in most cases. I think people partially do this so they can absolve themselves of their own guilt. Using this line of thinking, those that obtained wealth by pushing green causes or energy are at fault for climate change and whatever impending conspiracy theory "event" for which they are prepping? I find that far too reductive.

You make it sound like they made profit and had nothing to do with environment that made that possible.

How many times did the rich block change trough lobbying to safe their business model, how many think tanks were funded to push their point of view, how many times did they threaten to change their location to other states or even countries?

For instance why is China the workbench of the world despite the human rights situation. It wasn't better when it started, but who cares if it's for profit.

I think it's exactly the opposite, they are more responsible than we know.
