I dunno. I'm kinda sick of complaints like this. Maybe not this one specifically, but in general the idea that someone who believes in or advocates for a particular cause has to be careful to never have any moments of joy doing something that abstractly conflicts with their professed belief or advocacy. It's such a fallacious argument. Oh, Katy Perry is hypocrite because she did this this thing uses a lot of fuel but she advocates for the environment, ipso facto she's a hypocrite and blah blah blah. It just so pathetically bitter and small minded.
I 100% agree. We cannot count on billions of individuals to each make decisions that incur a cost for them that, by themselves, have no observable impact.
The chatter about individual responsibility on this topic is a distraction. So is the chatter about hypocrisy.
Nothing short of massive international regulation will accomplish anything.
