No, poor people getting disproportionately harmed by many climate change proposals is not a strawman, it's a very real consequence that needs to be addressed.
This is a strawman you introduced into the conversation. This is really about average car driving behaviour, consumption patterns, the system of centralized food distribution through massive supermarket chains. It’s urban planning and public policies, not lords vs servants. Note that I didn’t suggest individuals should stop driving to fight climate change, these changes can only start happening at a much higher level.
Emissions from transportation (that includes the trucks that supply these supermarkets) is responsible for 29% of all pollution [1]. The numbers are similar for most of Central and South America.
