You call it a lifestyle preference, I call it staying alive. But that bag of potatoes I just bought wouldn't be in the grocery store without a long chain of greenhouse gas emissions.

Lies repeated enough become truth which becomes common sense.
> Literally nothing stops first-world consumers from not buying stuff that requires emission of greenhouse gases except for their lifestyle preferences.
Literally nothing. Uh-huh as if we’re talking about buying a monster truck compared to a Volvo instead of the lifeblood of the whole modern (inefficient) supply chain.
> Yep, you bought into the idea that you don't have to change your lifestyle because it is all fault of the big oil.
Via what money?
It's also common sense. Literally nothing stops first-world consumers from not buying stuff that requires emission of greenhouse gases except for their lifestyle preferences.
> It’s all about the money. Money buys media which buys narrative and mindshare.
Yep, you bought into the idea that you don't have to change your lifestyle because it is all fault of the big oil.
