Lay the blame on politicians denying climate change and large corporations with next to no obligation to operate in an environmentally friendly way. Laying the blame on average people living average lives, most of whom are just barely scraping by, is just defending the rich and powerful so that they can pass the buck on to the rest of us like they always do.
